[pypy-dev] llvm backend issue on AMD64

[Eric van Riet Paap]

Hi Alexandre,

Thank you for trying this out!

Do the llvm tests pass?

pypy-llvm has not been properly tested on 64 bit systems! Some  
efforts were made but compatibilty was never maintained because of a  
lack of such a machine.
If you could give me an account on your computer I could make sure  
that at least proper checks are in place.

cheers,
Eric
