--- Comment #5 from Mark Linimon <linimon at FreeBSD.org> ---
The fact that there are backends for an arch does not guarantee that the
compiler generates usable code.  I know that there is active work on aarch64 to
make clang usable, but it is not quite there yet.  I vaguely recall this being
the case for mips/mips64 as well, but I'm not sure.

It has been months since I even tried to build llvm38/39 on sparc64.  I have
gone ahead and fired up a build to see what the status is.

The problem I'm trying to solve is that we would like to have mesa available on
all archs, even if llvm does not (yet) work on them.
