Perhaps 徐持恒 meant target independent, in the sense that with LLVM the choice
of target is made at run-time, and not when building LLVM [*].  Just a guess
though.

Ciao,

Duncan.

[*] It is possible to choose which targets to build when configuring LLVM.
If only one is chosen then of course that's the only one that can be chosen
at run-time.
