[LLVMdev] RFC: Another go at a cross compiler config file.

[David Chisnall]

Hi,

Did this make it into review / commit?  It's probably too late for 3.6 if it didn't, but I'd love to see it in 3.7.  It would also be nice if this support could be something a bit more general in LLVM, rather than specifically in clang, so that other llvm tools (e.g. llvm-objdump) could take advantage of a similar format for target description files if they need something more than just the triple argument.

My ELLCC project is entirely cross compilation focused, so today I decided to play around with the config file idea. Right now it only handles replacing a "-target foo" option with the options defined in the file foo in the resource/config directory, but I think it has potential for doing quite a bit more.
