[LLVMdev] LLVMgold.so in windows LLVM builds

[sgundapa at codeaurora.org]

I am trying to build LLVMgold.so on windows.
I came across this piece of code which includes “gold” source directory in
tools/CMakeLists.txt

if( LLVM_ENABLE_PIC )
# TODO: support other systems:
if( (CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "Linux")
OR (CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "FreeBSD") )
add_llvm_tool_subdirectory(gold)
else()
ignore_llvm_tool_subdirectory(gold)
endif()
else()
ignore_llvm_tool_subdirectory(gold)
endif()


This basically says, I cannot build LLVMgold.so on windows.
Any specific reasons for why this is the case?
