Uh, huh. I did not expect that anybody would ever really do that on
solaris. Not that the breakage was intentional, that's a separate issue.

Is this on x86-64 or sparc?


I'm somewhat confused that you report this to happen with gcc as well. We
don't use .s files there. Oh, I guess you see a different error
there:

This is odd. I think this is when building llvmjit.so - unfortunately there's
not enough details to figure out what's wrong here.

Oh, one thing that might be going wrong is that you just set the C compiler to
be gcc, but not C++ - what happens if you addtionally set CXX to g++?



I did not think about .o files generated from .s when writing the make
infrastructure for JITing.  At first I thought the easiest solution would be
to just add a rule to build .bc from .s - but that doesn't work in the
sunstudio case, because it relies on preprocessor logic that's specific to sun
studio - which clang can't parse. Gah.

Thus the attached hack - I think that should work.  It'd mostly be interesting
to see if this is the only roadblock or if there's more.


To be honest, the only case where .s files matter today is building with sun
studio, and that's a compiler we're planning to remove support for. So I'm not
sure it's worth fixing, if it adds complexity.
