The makefiles and `mklldeps.py` called `llvm-config --shared-mode` to find out if LLVM defaulted to shared or static libraries, and just went with that. But under rustbuild, `librustc_llvm/build.rs` was assuming that LLVM should be static, and even forcing `--link-static` for 3.9+. Now that build script also uses `--shared-mode` to learn the default, which should work better for pre-3.9 configured for dynamic linking, as it wasn't possible back then to choose differently via `llvm-config`. Further, the configure script now has a new `--enable-llvm-link-shared` option, which allows one to manually override `--link-shared` on 3.9+ instead of forcing static.

r? @eddyb (rust_highfive has picked a reviewer for you, use r? to override) |

Looks good to me! It appears though that |
|
Ah, I hadn't noticed that |
|
Ah ok, either's fine by me! |
There are now four static/shared scenarios that can happen for the supported LLVM versions: - 3.9+: By default use `llvm-config --link-static` - 3.9+ and `--enable-llvm-link-shared`: Use `--link-shared` instead. - 3.8: Use `llvm-config --shared-mode` and go with its answer. - 3.7: Just assume static, maintaining the status quo.

OK, that push will hopefully help 3.7, and I updated the PR summary with the four linking scenarios. |
|
Hmm, those latest travis jobs don't look like they actually tried anything... |
