Hi Ed,

How are you planning on building the LLVM / Clang libraries?  Will they be 
statically linked to the compiler and the debugger, or do you intend to make 
them dynamic too?  I found about a small slowdown with a dynamic clang, but the 
link times were much lower when building.  

Currently, the LLVM build is one of the big serialisation points in our build 
system (we build each of the individual libraries entirely independently), so 
if you're hacking on the build system it would perhaps be nice to build a 
single libLLVM (in /lib/private) that could compile all of the LLVM sources in 
parallel and then be used by Clang and LLDB (and any LLVM-based binutils 
replacements we start to add).  This would likely more than offset the 
increased build time for LLDB on any multicore system.
