Hi guys

LLVM 2.8 doesn't appear to have mcjit, so we end up with no llvm libs
defined,

Yes, mcjit is only used/necessary from llvm-3.1 onwards, so the autoconf code 
should check conditiionally.

BTW, I'll soon commit a change that will stop using mcjit from 3.2 onwards (as 
with the current LLVM 3.2 trunk, AVX is supported by the old jit, which is more 
stable/polished).

Is there a long-term plan or theory for which jit we'll be using? Are we just following upstream? Are the problems of mcjit simply a superset of the problems with the old jit?

I know there are people interested in supporting other arches in llvmpipe, so it'd be nice if they knew what to work on. And personally the gdb integration bit of mcjit sounds really appealing from a support perspective.
