[llvm-dev] [PROPOSAL] Add Bazel Build Configuration to the LLVM Monorepo

[Geoffrey Martin-Noble via llvm-dev]

This is an approval of the proposal (patch <https://reviews.llvm.org/D98639> to
actually indicate that in the status field). The next step is landing the
Bazel build files, which will be subject to the normal patch review
process. Chris added notes from our discussion about the issues discussed,
which includes the location of the build files. We agreed these should be
in the root `utils/` directory and we also think the gn build should move
there (it's current location predates the monorepo). I was going to start a
separate thread, but I'll just +Nico Weber <thakis at google.com>. Nico can
you take a look at moving the gn files? Hopefully this should be pretty
trivial?
