Thanks for explaining.  It's my first time receiving these particular requests 
(probably because of what parts of LLVM I normally edit), so I wasn't sure I 
understood.

For self-hosting, is it best to build again with CMAKE_C_COMPILER and 
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE pointing into the previous build, or is there a better 
approach?

All looks fine to me.  The APSInt.h changes are the reason for all the test 
changes.
