In historical reason, Interpreter's external entries had prefix "lle_X_" as C linkage, even for well-known entries in EE/Interpreter.
Now, at least on ToT, they are resolved via FuncNames[] mapper.
We will not need their symbols are expected to be exported any more.
Clang r150128 has introduced the warning <"%0 has C-linkage specified, but returns user-defined type %1 which is incompatible with C">.

patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

there.
This changes the interpreter to use libffi. After this patch, the interpreter
will barely be able to call any external functions if built on a system without
libffi installed (just enough to pass 'make check' really). But with libffi,
we can now call any function that isn't variadic or taking a struct or vector
parameter (but pointer to struct is fine). Patch by Alexei Svitkine!

This requires a rebuild of 'configure' itself. I will be committing that next, but
built with the wrong version of autoconf. Somebody who has the right one, please update
it.
As a side-note, because of the way autoconf works, all built tools will link against
libffi, not just lli. If you know how to fix this, please let me know ...

This commit fixes two things. One is a pair of VStudio compiler errors stemming from variables
which defined within the for loop statement and also within the body of the for loop. I fixed these
by renaming one of the two variables. Additionally, I've made the Function*->ExFunc map in
ExternalFunctions.cpp a ManagedStatic object, so that cleanup will be done on llvm_shutdown. In repeated
uses of the interpreter, where the same Function* address may get used for completely differnet functions,
this was causing a crash.
