I didn't say where we built it. :)  Currently built on Linux using a modified clang, linked on OpenVMS x86.  Building on OpenVMS is the next step.   We only configured the x86-64 target for the build.  It is slow enough as it is.  And yes, we did the same thing with libcxx and libcxxabi (which is still a work in progress)

We're working on CMake.
