<li><p>The build requires having a compiler that supports Ada, C and C++.
The Ada front-end is written in Ada so an Ada compiler is needed to
build it. Compilers known to work with the
- <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/download.html">LLVM 2.4 release</a>
+ <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/download.html">LLVM 2.7 release</a>
are <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">gcc-4.2</a> and the
2005, 2006 and 2007 versions of the
<a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">GNAT GPL Edition</a>.
+ <b>GNAT GPL 2008, gcc-4.3 and later will not work</b>.
The LLVM parts of llvm-gcc are written in C++ so a C++ compiler is
needed to build them. The rest of gcc is written in C.
Some linux distributions provide a version of gcc that supports all
compiler with checking enabled. This causes it to run much slower, but
helps catch mistakes in the compiler (please report any problems using
<a href="http://llvm.org/bugs">LLVM bugzilla</a>).</p></li>
+ <li><p>The Ada front-end <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2007">fails to
+ bootstrap</a>, due to lack of LLVM support for
+ <tt>setjmp</tt>/<tt>longjmp</tt> style exception handling (used
+ internally by the compiler), so you must specify
+ <tt>--disable-bootstrap</tt>.</p></li>
