[LLVMdev] Specify the default target when configuring LLVM

[Martin J. O'Riordan]

Thanks Paul, that's exactly what I needed.  For some reason I never thought
to use '--target' in conjunction with --enable-targets'.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you, was unwell for a few days.

All the best,

I'm pretty ignorant about configure but our top-level makefile has
  configure --target=your-default-triple [other stuff...] We also specify
--host and --build which I'm not entirely clear on whether they're necessary
(don't know if/how these three interact).
