[llvm-dev] Bootstrapping clang/LLVM with ELLCC

[Richard Pennington via llvm-dev]

ELLCC is a compilation tool chain based on clang/LLVM, libc++ and the 
musl standard C library for Linux. Recently I was asked if ELLCC 
pre-built binaries could be used to build clang/LLVM TOT. It turns out 
that it can with some simple patches. This is a simple way to bootstrap 
clang/LLVM on an arbitrary Linux system that either doesn't have GCC or 
has a version of GCC that is too old to build clang/LLVM. ELLCC 
pre-build binaries are available for ARM 32 and 64, Mips, PowerPC, and 
x86 32 and 64. They are statically linked so shared library versions 
don't matter on the Linux host.
