[llvmlinux] Compile LLVM/Clang for ARM android

[Anton Smirnov]

Hi, Tinti.

I'm trying to compile llvm/clang to work on arm android (host) and compile
for arm android (target).
If you targeted to compile USING Clang, then i don't mind to compile Clang
for ARM Android USING Clang on my build machine.

I've asked for suggestions or any compilation guide in llvm mail-list but
it seems that nobody did it before and there are A LOT of different
problems there from not ready sources/configs to my small experience in
native tools, toolchains, etc.

So can anybody help to compile Clang for ARM Android?

Regards, Anton.
