I was about to say the same thing, but:

Summary : The Low Level Virtual Machine
Hmmm. Interesting. I'm not sure why llvm describes itself as a "Low Level Virtual Machine", when it has nothing to do with that. Does the llvm team seem to think that machine language is virtual or something equally weird? It sounds like llvm needs to fix what the package description says. Its a compiler suite and an associated runtime lib, and that's all.
The first paragraph on llvm.org:
The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Despite its name, LLVM has little to do with traditional virtual machines. The name "LLVM" itself is not an acronym; it is the full name of the project.
