The main issue is that llvm-mc has been written as a tool for
developers to write tests with rather than users. The user-facing
assembler so far is clang. I suppose he'll be implementing an entirely
new CLI anyway so that gets rid of the main point of tension though;
so it's probably not fatal.

Cheers.
