[LLVMdev] llvm-g++ does not work!

[Gordon Keiser]

The issue here (even if you get dragonegg working) is that the thing that most newer linuxes install when you apt-get llvm-gcc isn't actually llvm-gcc, it's gcc with the dragonegg plugin.   Even if the plugin issues are sorted out, the "fake" llvm-gcc doesn't support -emit-llvm so this wouldn't work.  

You'll probably need to pull a 2.8 of it from llvm.org or a different repository.
