They make a lot of wild claims. Empirically it would seem "easily
retargettable" is somewhat of a stretch and "currently supports" is pure
wishful thinking or written by marketing wonks. If you actually make the
mistake of downloading the whole thing and read through the doc you find out
nothing is expected to work today except Intel. The plus side is the non-GPL
license. The downside is killing off all non-Intel platforms in major
projects. FreeBSD is going to have some real soul searching to do. And
frankly I think the architecture is overkill given what they actually
accomplish with it.
Honestly I gave up on LLVM ever running except on Intel. I bet money it
won't ever be complete on any other platform. I have a fair selection of
non-Intel hardware and after checking LLVM again and again over a few years
to see if any of it was supported and always finding it wasn't I gave up
looking. If anybody was serious about getting it to work on alternative
hardware I think it would have been available a long time ago.
