[Ecls-list] Anyone build ECL with LLVM?

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

ECL builds fine with clang on OS X (See
http://ecls.sourceforge.net/logs.html). Clang is the C compiler built on top
of LLVM. As for the other thing, it is not just "build". To make ECL compile
to the LLVM target machine one has to rewrite the compiler, because the LLVM
intermediate language is not C, but rather some sort of machine agnostic
assembler.
