Hi Joe,

I am not looking to build the llvm back-end, I am only looking to build
front-ends to generate llvm IR on iOS.

have build the swift-llvm & swift-clang static libraries for iOS using
cmake,
now I am looking to build the swift front-end for iOS,  do you have any
instructions that makes my job easier going forward.

Thanks
Ramakrishna
