[snap] Please do not use the LLVM lists for recruitment for jobs only
"accidently" related to LLVM/Clang. Looking for a Clang developer to
integrated it with a 3rd party product is fine. Looking for a LLVM
developer to develop a new backend or improve optimisation is fine, too.
Just looking foor a compiler engineer is not.

Thanks,
Joerg

MIPS can clarify, but from a fellow recruiter perspective - the subject 
seems clear to me. (I also happen to guess MIPS is supporting clang/llvm 
toolchain from list activity and have no reason to believe they wouldn't 
be working on llvm) Was the body of the email that bad or misleading?
