Talk:LLVM Cross-Compiler

Linux is a freestanding environment?

I noticed the need for using i686-pc-linux-gnu as the target, which essentially means that you want to build for a linux host, not a freestanding host. A cross-compiler is meant to counter all host dependencies. So can you either explain why i*86-(pc-)elf does not work, or at least guarantee that the linux and gnu parts do not drag in dependencies to stuff we don't have, or worse, stuff we don't want to have. Can we expect it to be the same in the future? - Combuster 12:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Breaks on Cygwin.
