 Hello, 
 
 for the record clang in 9.0 produces invalid code for the Geode
 LX (long nop instructions as nopl or nopw). A PR is open upstream
 for this issue (llvm) : http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11212
 
 So do not try to use clang on the AMD geode LX. A work-around according Roman
 Divacky is to use "-no-integrated-as" to your CFLAGS, that will make clang use gnu as
 instead of its own integrated assembler, thus avoiding this problem.  
 (I've not tried this) 
 See : http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-October/028588.html
 
 I've made a try today (jully 11, 2012) (9.0-STABLE) on my AMD geode MX,
 it still uses invalid nop. (illegal instruction in gperf)
