I don't know if building Mozilla with LLVM is even possible at the moment. I have no idea if GCD provides any benefits for us.
(In reply to comment #1) > I don't know if building Mozilla with LLVM is even possible at the moment. It was possible after Bug 492843 was fixed (I've tried it in those days successfully for FF and TB). I've tried it today and for me it now fails on IPC. I've opened Bug 570134 for this.
We already have a bug on llvm support filed by Nomis and I don't know what specifically is meant by GCD optimization in this context.
