Comment(by dterei):

 Argh. I didn't realize all these patches are problems due to cross
 compilation.

 Why are you using LLVM 3.3? It is unreleased and so not supported. Sure,
 we should support it, but you are throwing in two new problems now.

 1) LLVM 3.2 and 3.3 are unsupported.
 2) Cross compilation has bugs.

 Is it possible to use LLVM 3.1 or at least 3.2? Or do they not work well
 enough with ARM? I'm trying to review your patches now but this fact will
 slow me down a little.
