[llvm-dev] [cfe-dev] LLVM 3.9 RC binaries should NOT disable assertions.

I share the same basic opinion as Duncan, it makes me uncomfortable to not test
what is shipped.
Also users have to know that their compile-time will regress with RC compared to
release.
Maybe we could put both build online?

can see it being useful to *also* test asserts-enabled builds, but the RCs and
final release should be built identically IMO.

We should be looking for assertion failures during RC testing, not hiding them.
