llvm dev - Mar 2005 - [LLVMdev] GCC assembler rejects native code generated by LLVM

Ok, I just tried the patch with some modifications (added msvc target
and used WIN32 instead of __MINGW32__ for preprocessor) and everything
worked beautifully. Thanks for the help!

Did you actually try the previous patch?  If you compiled llvm-gcc with 
mingw, it should work, regardless of the compiler you use to compile 
the LLVM X86 backend with.

I didn't build llvm-gcc. I just used the front end provided by the
online demo on LLVM's webpage.
