Neat.  Quite tempted to get one!

Hmm.  I just tried llvm-devel-7.0.d20180327 on my amd64 FreeBSD 12
system and our make check passed with flying colours.  I guess there
could be a bug in LLVM or the FreeBSD 12 linker or their interaction
on ARM.  Maybe the cycle somehow comes from lines 376 and 391 of this:


https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/41d411071aefb16379415150d970171698b13ff9/lib/ExecutionEngine/Orc/OrcCBindingsStack.h

I know that LocalIndirectStubsManager is instantiated differently on
each architecture, but I couldn't immediately see how that could
produce the cycle and I'm currently avoiding the LLVM-internals rabbit
hole.  Maybe Andres has an idea?
