[llvm-dev] [RFC] Deprecating autoconf: Let's do it!

[John Reagan via llvm-dev]

Correct.  We're building cross-compilers hosted on OpenVMS Itanium for a
future OpenVMS x86-64 target.  By the time we'll be ready to bootstrap to
native compilers, we'll surely have a CMake in place.  I was just thinking
for others like me in the future who might be considering hosting on
non-traditional platforms.

I thought that the Itanium back end was removed a few releases ago.  Are you
just cross-compiling from Itanium to something else?
