hi there,

with llvm-2.7, we finally get the option to build .so instead of gazillions of archives.

could this be enabled by default ?

simply add:
--enable-shared

to the configure option.

also, it would be great to fix the list of exported symbols so the clang plugin loader would actually work.

I just added this to my PKGBUILD (just before the call to configure):

# get the correct list of symbols to export
# see: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2010-April/008559.html
/bin/cp $startdir/autoconf.ExportMap.map autoconf/ExportMap.map


cheers,
sebastien.

Looks like a good idea, as binary utilities simply link against the shared library, which in turn cuts the package size in half. The question is, why hasn't upstream enabled it by default? =]

Implemented both suggestions. They will appear in llvm-2.7-3 shortly. Thanks.
