[Beignet] beignet and LLVM 4

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?
