+=head1 NAME
+
+llvm-native-gxx
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+llvm-native-g++ [OPTIONS...] FILE
+
+native-build [OPTIONS...] FILE
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+llvm-native-g++ is a wrapper around the LLVM command-line tools which generates
+a native object (.o) file by compiling FILE with llvm-g++, and then running 
+an LLVM back-end (CBE by default) over the resulting bytecode, and then
+compiling the resulting code to a native object file.
+
+If called as "native-build", it compiles bytecode to native code, and takes
+different options.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+llvm-native-g++ takes the same options as llvm-gcc. All options
+except -mllvm-backend=... are passed on to llvm-g++.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item -mllvm-backend=BACKEND
+
+Use BACKEND for native code generation. 
+
+=item -v
+
+Print command lines that llvm-native-g++ runs.
+
+=item -o FILE
+
+llvm-native-g++ tries to guess the name of the llvm-g++ output file by looking
+for this option in the command line. If it can't find it, it finds the last C
+or C++ source file named on the command line, and turns its suffix into .o. See
+BUGS.
+
+=item -save-temps
+
+Save temporary files used by llvm-native-g++ (and llvm-g++, and g++).
+
+=back
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+llvm-native-g++ only handles the case where llvm-g++ compiles a single
+file per invocation.  llvm-native-g++ has weak command-line argument
+parsing and is a poor substitute for making g++/g++.c do this stuff.
+
+This manual page does not adequately document native-build mode.
+
+llvm-native-g++ is pretty gross because it represents the blind merging of two
+other scripts that predated it. It could use some code clean-up.
