note that if you require llvm for rubinius, you'll restrict the arch it can run on (you will need gcc4, and there were at least problems with llvm on sparc64 last time I tried). though you could enable llvm in rubinius only for certain specific arch.. > llvm's only current dependency is lang/llvm-gcc4, which I haven't tested > yet as it is i386 only.

(fast machine recommended ;-)
