+<p><b>GCC 4.1.1 on X86-64/amd64</b>: GCC <a href="http://llvm.org/PR1063">
+ miscompiles portions of LLVM</a> when compiling llvm itself into 64-bit
+ code. LLVM will appear to mostly work but will be buggy, e.g. failing
+ portions of its testsuite.</p>
+<p><b>GCC 4.1.2 on OpenSUSE</b>: Seg faults during libstdc++ build and on x86_64
+platforms compiling md5.c gets a mangled constant.</p>
+<p><b>GCC 4.1.2 (20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) on Debian</b>: Appears
+to miscompile parts of LLVM 2.4. One symptom is ValueSymbolTable complaining
+about symbols remaining in the table on destruction.</p>
+<p><b>GCC 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)</b>: Suffers from the same symptoms
+as the previous one. It appears to work with ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=0 (the default).</p>
+<p><b>Cygwin GCC 4.3.2 20080827 (beta) 2</b>:
+ Users <a href="http://llvm.org/PR4145">reported</a> various problems related
+ with link errors when using this GCC version.</p>
+<p><b>Debian GCC 4.3.2 on X86</b>: Crashes building some files in LLVM 2.6.</p>
+<p><b>GCC 4.3.3 (Debian 4.3.3-10) on ARM</b>: Miscompiles parts of LLVM 2.6
+when optimizations are turned on. The symptom is an infinite loop in
+FoldingSetImpl::RemoveNode while running the code generator.</p>
+<p><b>GNU ld 2.16.X</b>. Some 2.16.X versions of the ld linker will produce very
+long warning messages complaining that some ".gnu.linkonce.t.*" symbol was
+defined in a discarded section. You can safely ignore these messages as they are
+erroneous and the linkage is correct. These messages disappear using ld
+2.17.</p>
+
+<p><b>GNU binutils 2.17</b>: Binutils 2.17 contains <a
+href="http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3111">a bug</a> which
+causes huge link times (minutes instead of seconds) when building LLVM. We
+recommend upgrading to a newer version (2.17.50.0.4 or later).</p>
+
+<p><b>GNU Binutils 2.19.1 Gold</b>: This version of Gold contained
+<a href="http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9836">a bug</a>
+which causes intermittent failures when building LLVM with position independent
+code. The symptom is an error about cyclic dependencies. We recommend
+upgrading to a newer version of Gold.</p>
