[LLVMdev] RFC: I plan to remove the autoconf and Makefile build of LLD
I have fixed the issue locally, but been out of the office - can apply the fix - or just maintain the makefiles locally if no-one else really wants them, fine with whatever the community decision is.

Looks like most developers prefer Makefile removal, and there's no push-back. Let's go ahead and remove them. I'll send a patch.

I fixed the immediate problem - please let me know when you are going to break my build so I can switch to maintaining it locally. thanks Iain ] On 13 Mar 2015, at 17:04, Rui Ueyama wrote:> Looks like most developers prefer Makefile removal, and there's no push-back.
