Both. Libraries are simple, as they are just used. For code I can only 
share code that I have written. That means, if I have written code I can 
add it at both places. If people start to contribute, moving code 
becomes more difficult. However, I assume that most of the stuff that 
can be shared will actually be part of isl, and only compiler specific 
stuff goes into GCC and LLVM. So I do not expect that a lot of code 
needs to be moved later on.
