+      <p>LLDB is the debugger from the LLVM family of projects.
+	Originally developed for Mac OS X, it now also supports &os;,
+	NetBSD, Linux, Android, and Windows.  It builds on existing
+	components in the larger LLVM project, for example using Clang's
+	expression parser and LLVM's disassembler.</p>
+
+      <p>LLDB in the &os; base system was upgraded to version 3.7.0
+	as part of the Clang and LLVM upgrade, and it will similarly be
+	upgraded again, to 3.8.0 for &os; 11.0-RELEASE.</p>
+
+      <p>LLDB is now enabled by default on the amd64 and arm64 platforms.
+	It is now a functional basic debugger on arm64, after a number of
+	fixes were made in the last quarter to both LLDB and the
+	&os; kernel.</p>
