You will need to have built LLVM tools in order to run lit's test suite
successfully.
+You'll also want to confirm that lit continues to work when testing LLVM.
+Follow the instructions in http://llvm.org/docs/TestingGuide.html to run the
+regression test suite:
+
+ make check-llvm
+
+And be sure to run the llvm-lit wrapper script as well:
+
+ /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin/llvm-lit utils/lit/tests
+
+Finally, make sure lit works when installed via setuptools:
+
+ python utils/lit/setup.py install
+ lit --path /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin utils/lit/tests
