Any recent release of LLVM should work. With LLVM SVN, only a current
snapshot of that can be expected to work for a current snapshot of Mesa
Git master at any time, because LLVM doesn't provide any C++ API
stability between releases. For a non-current snapshot of Mesa Git
master, one may have to find an LLVM SVN snapshot from around the same time.
