[LLVMdev] Compiling "vmkit" on Ubuntu_x64 - Error: missing argument to --bindir

[Gaël Thomas]

Hi Kumar,

It's a mistake, we will correct that, we haven't tested vmkit on arm. As
LLVM supports arm, by cross-compiling vmkit in arm/linux, it could work,
but you will probably have to adapt some few parts of the code. If you plan
to make the port, feel free to send us a lot of patches :)
