The problem causing this is that we have a hacked up CMake build process that generates multiple cross-targeted binaries from a single build configuration. I believe that compiler-rt's built-in hacky cross-targeting is tripping over however swift is supporting cross-targeting, and it is falling over.

Could you elaborate on what it means to treat it as host content? 

Is setting COMPILER_RT_HOST_TRIPLE and disabling COMPILER_RT_ENABLE_{I,TV,WATCH}OS the right thing to do?

Will do.


thanks,
