llvm dev - Nov 2006 - [LLVMdev] Byte code portability (was Re: libstdc++ as bytecode, and compiling C++ to C)

Hello Philipp.
> Why does it need target libraries and binutils?
gcc building process (and llvm-gcc4 as well) includes building of
target-specific stuff including:

1. Building crt-support code on several platforms
2. Building libgcc.a[.so]
3. Building libstdc++.a[.so]

If you don't want them to be built you should, probably you should
consult gcc documentation to find right options or change build scripts.

Surely you can as soon as you have working llvm-gcc4.

I don't think I need this. I wrote my own crt0.o in assembler.

Why do I need this?
