Re: [PATCH]:Resend: Add LLVM, clang and clang-runtime-3.8 to GNU Guix

I second Pjotr on this.

There are always tools that will lag behind, and having multiple LLVM
versions is a reasonable (and possibly unavoidable) compromise, for
now.

There may be problems with conflicts should a user install such
pipelines with differing LLVM and Clang combinations within the same
profile, as a worst case scenario.
