In the moment, I am building/installing LLDB from the SVN-trunk (r292723 -- 5.0.0 branch) on my BeagleBone Black. Installation is in progress now, and I guess in a 2 or 3 hours this will be finished.

Please let me know, once the patch made it into the SVN repository. Then I will run 'svn update' and 'ninja lldb install' once again, and I hope that ninja is smart enough to compile only the changes.

Thank you very much for looking into it.

Best regards

Rolf
