I have some doubts regarding LLVM, since it automatically optimizes the code for the build architecture and chances are that it will not run on older x86_64. I think it's better to wait until llvm-3.5, which should remove the auto optimization.
Indeed, turning on LLVM with this version of GHC would require a bit of work on `cblrepo` to make sure the generated PKGBUILDs instructs GHC to tell LLVM that we want "generic" binaries. Complicated sentence, I know, but you know what I mean :) In short, that particular change is unlikely to happen unless there is a killer reason for using LLVM to build. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus As long as there are ill-defined goals, bizarre bugs, and unrealistic schedules, there will be Real Programmers willing to jump in and Solve The Problem, saving the documentation for later.
