<li>The C backend has been removed. It had numerous problems, to the point of
not being able to compile any nontrivial program.</li>
<li>The Alpha, Blackfin and SystemZ targets have been removed due to lack of
maintenance.</li>
<li>LLVM 3.1 removes support for reading LLVM 2.9 bitcode files. Going
forward, we aim for all future versions of LLVM to read bitcode files and

<p>Known problem areas include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Alpha, Blackfin, CellSPU, MSP430, PTX, SystemZ and
XCore backends are experimental, and the Alpha, Blackfin and SystemZ
targets have already been removed from mainline.</li>
<li>The CellSPU, MSP430, PTX and XCore backends are experimental.</li>
<li>The integrated assembler, disassembler, and JIT is not supported by
several targets. If an integrated assembler is not supported, then a
system assembler is required. For more details, see the <a
href="CodeGenerator.html#targetfeatures">Target Features Matrix</a>.
</li>
<li>The C backend has numerous problems and is not being actively maintained.
Depending on it for anything serious is not advised.</li>
