<p>First, LLVM comes in three pieces. The first piece is the LLVM
suite. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files

<p>The second piece is the GCC front end. This component provides a version of

<p>LLVM is very demanding of the host C++ compiler, and as such tends to expose
bugs in the compiler. In particular, several versions of GCC crash when trying

+Other versions of GCC will probably work as well. GCC versions listed
here are known to not work. If you are using one of these versions, please try
to upgrade your GCC to something more recent. If you run into a problem with a
