[llvm-dev] Compilation issue "unsupported relocation on symbol" with clang 3.7.1

Hi,

I downloaded the all LLVM suite version 5.0.0 from LLVM website. So I'm trying to compiler
compiler-rt version 5.0.0. But looking at git mirror I noticed the assembly.h was different.
So yes, USE_THUMB_1 is defined and I can patch assembly.h.

However, is version 5.0.0 the latest one ?
