Dear Mr Carruth,

I am Fernando Herrera. I work for the University of Cantabria (Spain).
We are interested in the microblaze branch of LLVM (preferently
as users). 

Do you know if there is any available (even if unofficial
or out of the tree) branch which could work with LLVM 3.5 (or later)?

Maybe somebody in Xilinx?

Eventually, we could update it to make it work with
later LLVM versions, as long as we can afford that cost.

Many thanks in advance for any information you can give to us.

Best

Fernando
