[llvm-dev] Building an LLVM cross-compiler

Just a note about this:

I'm also working on building a clang-based toolchain from scratch.
To avoid CMake bailing out when a binary can't be linked, I use:

-DCMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE=STATIC_LIBRARY

Along with:

-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME="Generic"
-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR="powerpc" 

Best Regards,
