It was causing some errors like:
Encoding error:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 341: ordinal not in range(128)
The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-y2fq4dtb.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.

Summary:
Linking between markdown and rst files is currently not supported very well, e.g. the current llvm-addr2line docs [1] link to "llvm-symbolizer" instead of "llvm-symbolizer.html". This is weirdly broken in different ways depending on which versions of sphinx and recommonmark are being used, so workaround the bug by using rst everywhere.

Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.
LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:
* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.
* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.
* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.
This patch then:
* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.
We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".
