-<li>None so far.
+ <li>Optimized (Release) versions of LLVM built with GCC 3.3.2 or 3.3.3 will
+ produce an llc tool that always enters an infinite loop due to what
+ appears to be an optimization bug (-O2 and -O3) in those versions of GCC.
+ This problem does not happen in GCC 3.3.1 nor GCC 3.4.0 nor does it happen if
+ you build a Debug version of LLVM. You are cautioned not to use GCC 3.3.2 or
+ GCC 3.3.3 to build Optimized versions of LLVM. It is unclear whether this problem
+ affects other backends but it is unlikely.</li>
