Hello, Everyone. Today I've finished digging into llvm-gcc4 in order to build in under mingw32. The most trickiest was to make libstdc++ build, since its configure & makefiles are not so perfect as main gcc ones. There are several problems with inline assemler (in two places at least), but both of them are easily seen. Also, there are some compiler crashes while compiling libiberty (with LLVM code-generator). Now I'm making fresh build to clean up many small tweaks I've made. The patches & bug reports will follow. -- With best regards,...

...*nix world they have gold linker, in the windows world we have nothing other than GNU BFD ld ATM. GHC on Windows uses Mingw tools and LLD doesn't fit into Mingw ecosystem yet (I know that some support have creeped into LLD recently, but it is still far from being complete), moreover, when assemling GHC native codegen output, GNU assembler produces peculiar non-standard COFF files (with 0x11 relocations), and finally binutils doesn't (and probably never would) support bigobj extension in the 32-bit case. Windows GHC relies heavily on GCC, especially it's runtime system's cod...

Hi, How far are we from having '-r' in the LLD COFF linker? I'd try to implement this if not too much effort is required. Any suggestions and/or pointers? Cheers, Kyra
