>>  - No Update: Still outstanding and blocking removal of autoconf
>> 
>> * Bug 21562 - Add a CMake equivalent for make/platform/clang_darwin.mk <http://clang_darwin.mk/> in compiler_rt
>>  - I've looked at this a bit on and off. It is unfortunately a hard problem. I think it would be easier if CMake had better support for setting clang's sysroot and arch flags. To that end I've filed a bug against CMake (http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15591 <http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15591>).

>> * Bug 21568 - Cannot add rpath
>>  - No Update: Not a blocker.
>> 
>> Other issues not tracked by bugs:
>> 
>> * FreeBSD seemed to have problems with CMake identifying itself as amd64 causing x86_64 tests to fail
>> * Migrating buildbots
>> * We need to make sure libc++ works properly on Darwin
>> * Put together a “cheat sheet” document for transitioning
>>  - If you have an autoconf workflow you’d like to see in the cheat sheet please send your commands my way and I‘ll assemble the cheat sheet.
