IMHO, the development branch of Octave should try to target "current"
versions of LLVM, where "current" is 7.0 and 8.0-rc1 at the moment.
Targeting the Debian stable version of LLVM seems less than effective.

Please consider that by the time the current default branch becomes
Octave 6 (probably about a year from now), it would be most useful to
everyone if it worked with LLVM 9 and/or 10 (probably releasing
September 2019 and March 2020, respectively).

But obviously I am not the one doing the work, just offering a
perspective. And thank you for taking on this long-neglected task.
