<bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to mono@FreeBSD.org:
Bug 198564: lang/mono: Support the LLVM backend
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198564



--- Description ---
Mono's JIT keeps improving, but LLVM
(http://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/runtime/docs/llvm-backend/) is still
significantly better at optimizing certain kinds of code. It would be great if
lang/mono had a config option that allows those who want it to additionally
build mono's LLVM fork and enable it in mono.
