* Remove disk space requirements, they vary wildly, depend on the number of
tools built, the build type, and we don't keep them up-to-date on all platforms * AIX, Linux on PowerPC aren't fully-supported systems git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@18016 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

+<p>Note that you will need about 1-3 GB of space for a full LLVM build in Debug

<p>The LLVM suite <i>may</i> compile on other platforms, but it is not
guaranteed to do so. If compilation is successful, the LLVM utilities should be
able to assemble, disassemble, analyze, and optimize LLVM bytecode. Code
