You're talking about Pure, right? Q doesn't need/use LLVM.

There's also a configure option --enable-pic to enable that, and yes, 
it's needed in addition to applying the patch (otherwise LLVM won't be 
built with -fPIC anyway). Pure's INSTALL file has more information on 64 
bit issues.

Thanks for reporting, fixed in r438.

See the INSTALL file for detailed instructions. I'd suggest 
--enable-release.

BTW, I'm cc'ing pur...@sf... now, could you please redirect 
your future posts on Pure as well? The subscription page is at
