llvm dev - Dec 2010 - [LLVMdev] Documentation is missing hardware platform FreeBSD on amd64 and states that Solaris/Sparc is 'working'

Here http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#requirements FreeBSD/amd64 
isn't mentioned. It works quite fine for me.

Also, it mentions that its known to work on Solaris/V9(Ultrasparc). 
Isn't this wrong since JIT isn't currently working on Sparc and is only 
expected to work with MC project completion? Sparc should me mentioned 
in the 'partial support' table.
Also, I think Linux/V9 and FreeBSD/V9 should also be mentioned in 
'partial support' table since they work there except for JIT.

Yes, it should. I fixed that. Thanks!

I'll leave this for others to comment on.

Thanks!

Another thing is why you only list GCC as compiler? LLVM compiles 
itself, and at least on FreeBSD and Linux should be listed along GCC.
I even tested resulting code performance (of libLLVM.so itself) compiled 
with gcc-4.5.1 and compiled with itself and performance was within 5% of 
each other.
