-  <p>It is possible to cross-compile LLVM. That is, you can create LLVM
-  executables and libraries for a platform different than the one one which you
-  are compiling.  To do this, a few additional steps are 
-  required. <sup><a href="#ccn_1">1</a></sup> To cross-compile LLVM, use
-  these instructions:</p>
-  <ol>
-    <li>Configure and build LLVM as a native compiler. You will need
-    just <tt>TableGen</tt> from that build.
-      <ul>
-        <li>If you have <tt>$LLVM_OBJ_ROOT=$LLVM_SRC_ROOT</tt> just execute 
-          <tt>make -C utils/TableGen</tt> after configuring.</li>
-        <li>Otherwise you will need to monitor building process and terminate 
-          it just after <tt>TableGen</tt> was built.</li>
-      </ul>
-    </li>
-    <li>Copy the TableGen binary to somewhere safe (out of your build tree).
-    </li>
-    <li>Configure LLVM to build with a cross-compiler. To do this, supply the
-    configure script with <tt>--build</tt> and <tt>--host</tt> options that
-    are different. The values of these options must be legal target triples 
-    that your GCC compiler supports.</li>
-    <li>Put the saved <tt>TableGen</tt> executable into the
-    into <tt>$LLVM_OBJ_ROOT/{BUILD_TYPE}/bin</tt> directory (e.g. into 
-    <tt>.../Release/bin</tt> for a Release build).</li>
-    <li>Build LLVM  as usual.</li>
-  </ol>
-  <p>The result of such a build will produce executables that are not executable
-  on your build host (--build option) but can be executed on your compile host
+  <p>It is possible to cross-compile LLVM itself. That is, you can create LLVM
+  executables and libraries to be hosted on a platform different from the

+  <tt>--host</tt> options that are different. The values of these options must

   (--host option).</p>
