--- Comment #5 from Mark Linimon <linimon@FreeBSD.org> ---
The fact that there are backends for an arch does not guarantee that the
compiler generates usable code.  I know that there is active work on aarch6=
4 to
make clang usable, but it is not quite there yet.  I vaguely recall this be=
ing
the case for mips/mips64 as well, but I'm not sure.

It has been months since I even tried to build llvm38/39 on sparc64.  I have
gone ahead and fired up a build to see what the status is.

The problem I'm trying to solve is that we would like to have mesa availabl=
e on
all archs, even if llvm does not (yet) work on them.
