LLVM (at least outside of the C APIs it exposes) only guarantees
compatibility between minor releases of the same major release branch.
So, using Mesa with an SVN snapshot or major release of LLVM which is
newer than the Git snapshot or release of Mesa isn't guaranteed to work,
even if it happens to build.

I think this message should still be printed at least once, as an
indication that something might be wrong with the setup.
