To be clear, currently the improved LLVM backend plan is in need of someone to implement it. See #10074 for details.
That's a pity, but not a problem as long as the version of LLVM that the version of GHC requires (opt and llc from LLVM) are readily available and the patches for the underlying system support (Mingw binutils in the case of Windows, especially patched for Windows 64 to make them work with LLVM on Windows) are also readily available. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8971#comment:33 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
