Debian plans to remove LLVM 3.8 and 3.9, retaining 4.0 and 5.0 [0].
beignet 1.3.1 (currently in Debian) doesn't build with LLVM 4.0+, but
beignet git master does.
Fedora tried applying the 4.0-support patches to beignet 1.3.1, but
found that this made several applications crash, and are now using a git
snapshot [1-2].
Is such a snapshot also likely to be the best solution for Debian
beignet, and if so, should it be 'same commit as Fedora' (36f6a8b),
'current master', or some other point?

comment there, but be aware that Debian does _not_ spam-protect email
