[LLVMdev] Unsupported MCJIT tests on ARM?

Hi Renato,

I think there's a discussion going on about this already at
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.cvs/145699 (and
surrounding).

According to Amara that assertion was a bit of paranoia so we'd know
if someone tried emitting .rel relocations and sending the result
through MCJIT. However, now we routinely re-relocate using explicit
addends so as he says it can probably just be removed.

Cheers.

Tim.
