llvm dev - Dec 2007 - [LLVMdev] building LLVM with just the C backend

I tried building LLVM 2.1 with no real target CPU backends enabled, just the
C backend, by hacking the configure script slightly:

It didn't work. I get these link failures:

Is this something that ought to work? Any idea how to go about fixing it?

Thanks,
Jay.

I don't really know, however, things are slightly different on  
mainline now.  Now if you use --enable-targets=cbe you should just get  
the C backend without anything else, including the MSIL target.

I haven't tried it, but it should work :)
