I assume you meant to send this to the list as well.

hi edwin,
tanks again for  clearing up.

i found now a solution for my problem.
i like to report the problem and the solution!
maybe someone else had the same problem.

the problem:
the build of LLVM compiler suite, do not work properly
with RHEL linux 4.8 with  GCC 3.4.6. 
using a  RHEL linux 5.5 and gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)
the LLVM compiler suite works very well. 
but my  RHEL linux 4.8 machine
could not execute the build tools due to missing glibc 2.5.
- i have to work on RHEL 4.8 machine due to some tool dependency in my
work flow.

the solution to build a working LLVM suite compatible with RHEL 4.8 and
RHEL 5.5 is as follows:
first you need to build a new version of GCC 4.5.1 on the RHEL 4.8
machine. use the GCC 4.5.1 to compile the LLVM suite!
this  compiled version works well with all RHEL 4.x and RHEL 5.x linux
system. (32bit and 64bit) for the compilation of the LLVM you have set
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the LD_RUN_PATH to the new installed GCC
compiler directory!

-  compile the GCC 4.5.1 is not a simple task.
   i automate this task by a simple bash script:
- this script downloads all needed sources and generates a necessary
  settigs file in the <INSTALL>/i686-pc-linux-gnu_gcc-4.5.1/settings.sh 
directory.

the script is attached. "maybe it could use someone"

best regards:
jurij

No, C language is target dependent.
You can have a single clang compiler that can generate code for
multiple architectures (if you tell it with -triple what to generate).

As someone else said on the list, what is this XPIC target, because it
is not part of LLVM. You should contact whoever wrote it to figure out
what is wrong with it.
