No, it can not. Interesting observation.

Thanks. If you have cycles to try a LINK_POLLY_INTO_TOOLS:BOOL=ON build 
on your side, this would be great.

Another data-point that might be of help is to just run the script at
http://polly.llvm.org/get_started.html to install everything. This 
installs trunk the way it is tested and run by us day-to-day (myself 
using Ubuntu x86-64). This should be the most basic test that should work.

Best,
Tobias
