I know why.  I had assumed Michael Liao (the original patch author) had
submitted all the _LLVM_ x32 support as separate patches, and it was
just the tests/Clang/compiler-rt support that was missing.  It seems not
so.  Those specific patches he did submit got commited, but many pieces
are missing... I should NEVER make such big assumptions!

Looks like I'm going to have to go through the original patch and create
a new patch series.

If I'm going to submit the Clang patch, how should it be submitted?  One
patch with what's required to get x32 host to work, then another
enabling x32 code generation once the required changes to llvm are
merged?  Would that be sufficient?
