January 29, 2012	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt/libcxx to rev149184 from the LLVM repository. Updated to gdb 7.4.
January 20, 2012	First pass at the C standard library unit and userland executable test suite. It is described here.
January 5, 2012	Added a preliminary unit test infrastructure. "make check" in test/obj.
December 26, 2011	Imported the LLVM project libcxx files and did a preliminary partial build for all targets.
December 24, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev147219 from the LLVM repository.
December 12, 2011	Added preliminary support for profiling and code coverage (libprofile-rt.a).
December 9, 2011	libecc (The C standard library for ELLCC) can now be built using gcc.
December 7, 2011	Added support for little endian Mips.
November 26, 2011	Added support for building libraries and programs for the armv7 and mips32r2 architectures for both hard FPUs and software floating point support.
November 20, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev144995. Microblaze compilation with debug information (-g) causes a failure when building the standard library, works without debug information.
October 29, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev143292, qemu to 0.15.1. Microblaze compilation with debug information (-g) causes a failure when building the standard library, works without debug information.
October 2, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev140945, binutils to 2.21.1, gdb to 7.3.1, qemu to 0.15.0.
July 2, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev134322 from the LLVM repository.
June 18, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev133347 from the LLVM repository.
June 4, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev132638 from the LLVM repository. All processors now pass the bzip2 test.
May 19, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev 127949 from the LLVM repository. Unfortunately, the mips processor continues to fail the bzip2 test.
May 15, 2011	Set up the Bugzilla server for ELLCC. Added a blog and ViewVC repository access.
March 5, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev 127082 from the LLVM repository.
February 27, 2011	Updated LLVM/clang/compiler-rt to rev 126579 from the LLVM repository. Unfortunately, this causes the mips processor to fail the bzip2 test.
February 5, 2011	Completed initial printf regression tests on ppc64, vaargs seems to be functional now. tcsh now builds for arm, i386, microblaze, ppc, ppc64, and x86_64. In QEMU user mode tcsh for arm, i386, ppc, and x86_64 runs and the "set" and "exit" commands work as expected. The ppc can run a few "ls" commands before core dump. The arm, i386, ppc64, and x86_64 can run one "ls" command and then hang. I suspect a SIGCHLD problem. The Start up under QEMU fails for microblaze. The ppc64 tcsh starts, but displays no prompt. The "set" command works, but the "exit" command core dumps.
January 15, 2011	Build and ran bzip2 on mips in QEMU Linux user space emulation.
January 15, 2011	The standard C library can be compiled for mips. Simple programs work.
January 12, 2011	Completed initial printf regression tests on arm, i386, microblaze, ppc, and x86_64.
January 8, 2010	Build and ran bzip2 on arm, i386, microblaze, ppc, and x86_64 in QEMU Linux user space emulation.
December 21, 2009	Project reset: Use clang instead of Elsa as the compiler front end.
