No. It doesn't help.

It is not strange because LLVM's CMake build system is buggy:

Sth. like 

  # Set common compiler options:
  if( NOT LLVM_REQUIRES_EH )
    if( LLVM_COMPILER_IS_GCC_COMPATIBLE )
      add_definitions( -fno-exceptions )
    elseif( MSVC )
      llvm_replace_compiler_option(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "/EHsc" "/EHs-c-")
      add_definitions( /D_HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0 )
    endif()
  endif()
  if( NOT LLVM_REQUIRES_RTTI )
    if( LLVM_COMPILER_IS_GCC_COMPATIBLE )
      llvm_replace_compiler_option(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-frtti" "-fno-rtti")
    elseif( MSVC )
      llvm_replace_compiler_option(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "/GR" "/GR-")
    endif()
  endif()

from function(llvm_process_sources OUT_VAR) from cmake/modules/LLVMProcessSources.cmake must be in tools/llvm-config/CMakeLists.txt

I won't send a patch to LLVM because it is like on Mesa and I must run after people for months to get bug/build fixes not pushed.[1] Complaining and let others work is much much ...
