Bug Description

Ubuntu 10.10 already packages clang (the LLVM-based C compiler), and ships that with support for the "Blocks" C language extension, but does not package compiler-rt, which is needed to link Blocks-using code. This is a prerequisite for Linux systems to offer something equivalent to Mac OS X's "Grand Central Dispatch" functionality.

URL: http://compiler-rt.llvm.org/
License: dual-licensed as MIT and UIUC: http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license
Notes: compiler-rt can be built to only offer the Blocks runtime and not a full libgcc replacement.
