[llvm-dev] Problem on cross-compiling compiler-rt

[Lei Wang via llvm-dev]

That's great. For multi targets compilerrt-rts,   in old llvm 3.5 configuremakefileconfigure/makefile system, it will build multiple libs for each target on the target list pass to clang building. but since you said compiler-rt now require sysroot for proper headers, then I don't think multi libs can be built together any more. However, according to my knowledge, without compiler-rt, a compiler is not able to full functionally work, if assuming it is the only compiler runtime lib we have. Clang is designed and able to be built for multi targets, so it should work with different compiler rt libs when it is built for multi targets. So from this viewpoint, multi target lib build is essential to support the multi target clang.
I still do not understanding why including libs using system headers in buildin libs. And what does exactly compiler rt want to replace? In my opinion, it is libgcc?
