A quick update on my side for today:
 * I started updating the copyright file, and will continue tomorrow.
   Sylvestre: I added compiler_rt as it was clean enough, can you please
   add all the stuff under src/llvm? (mostly plain llvm-3.6, ping me on IRC
   when you start to avoid git conflicts)
 * After several hours of compilation, I also hit the single test failure,
   damn!
   All the rest of the build seemed fine. I haven't yet checked the final
   binary package though.
 * Package looks mostly ok and the upstream multi-tarball works fine for me. I
   fix small bits here and there as soon as I encounter them.
 * A *BIG* warning sign on the --enable-rpath passed to configure.
   It was a long fight to convince upstream in not using rpath, and that
   option should be explicitly only needed when executing without installing.
   Why was it added back to rules? What's the rpath on resulting artifacts?
   And on binaries compiled from that rustc?

I'll call it a day for now, more on the topic tomorrow.

Cheers, Luca
