[Llvm-bgq-discuss] Patches for r176829-20130309 (the current vesta version)

[Prentice Bisbal]

Hal,

Relocatable RPMs soulnds like a good idea. I also recommend you use mock 
to build your RPMs. Not sure how well it works with SuSE Linux, but it's 
a great way to make sure you are building your RPM in a "clean" 
environment and can catch all the dependencies needed for the RPM(s) 
your building.
