Do you envision that LLVM always be built alongside GHC when bringing up a new working tree?
No - on Tier 1 platforms, I suggest we always provide binary packages for developers to grab. Those same binaries would be shipped with the actual binary distributions we create.
On Tier 2 platforms, people may have to compile things, but we can provide some guidelines (and perhaps utilities/scripts) to help manage this.
for the Distributions it would be most easy if the custom llvm would come within the source tarball, would be built by the regular build process and installed along with GHC, in a private path (/usr/lib/ghc/somewhere). We certainly don’t want to have a separate packaging with separate binary packages "llvm-ghc" around. How long does building those two llvm binaries take? If it is sufficiently quick, maybe that would be a suitable distribution for developers as well, and avoids having to separately build, distribute, download, and install the binaries.
