Backporting LLVM 3.1 for Fedora 17

Hi all,

While in the past I've shied away from bumping the LLVM version
shipping with a Fedora release, it appears that there are enough users
using Clang++ that the post-release breakage that happens when
gcc-c++/libstdc++ is updated is really a chronic problem.

Between backporting the patches in question, and rebuilding the entire
stack of LLVM and dependent apps, it seems to me that on balance it
might be easier to do the rebuilding - though I'd need the help of
proven testers to test the critical path updates involving LLVM and
mesa-llvmpipe (by running a F17 installation under KVM).

Sending this to the relevant package owners as well as the development
list - if there's too much pushback, I'll look at backporting the
patches instead, though given that LLVM 3.2 is scheduled for release
next month, if we agree, going forward, that occasional stack rebuilds
are acceptable, it would really lower the maintenance burden, instead
of having to support 3 LLVM releases.

Thanks,
