[llvm-dev] What is compiler-rt for?

[Russell Wallace via llvm-dev]

The name and documentation both suggest it contains essential runtime
functions for use by generated code. However, it's offered as an extra
optional download, and when I omit it, the entire cycle of compiling a
program with clang and running the resulting executable still seems to work
fine. What am I missing?
