llvm dev - May 2013 - [LLVMdev] ARM __clear_cache fix for compiler-rt when compiling Python

Hi all

I received the following patch for compiling ctypes module for Python on 
FreeBSD from Keith White (I'm in no position to judge this fix, I'm just
passing it on).

Is there anyone on this list being able to commit this code?

Thxs, Werner
