+# This was the original native/llvm-9.0/Makefile
+# Since it takes a huge amount of resources to build this, we started to host the 
+# output on https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/releases/tag/native%2Fllvm
+# 
+# This Makefile is kept to build it again
+# and has one additional target to build the archive (make build-archive)
+# 
+# The main reason to build llvm from source is, that other prebuilt packages
+# do not contain the binary "clang-tblgen" that is mandatory to build cross/llvm-9.0.
