Ponyc: Pony will not build on Fedora Rawhide

[russel]

Fedora Rawhide (will be Fedora 27) has moved to LLVM 4.0.0 and so Pony will not compile due to the LLVM version check.

[SeanTAllen]

You'd need to install 3.9.1

[SeanTAllen]

We do not currently support 4.0

[russel]

OK, but Fedora is a "one and one only" type of system with regard to packaging, so I won't be able to build Pony on Fedora Rawhide till 4.0 is supported.

I notice that 3.9.0 is not acceptable but 3.9.1 is. Is it right that Pony depends on bug-fix version level?

[SeanTAllen]

Correct. There are bugs in 3.9.0 that were fixed in 3.9.1.

[SeanTAllen]

FYI, LLVMhas RPM packages available

[jemc]

I think we should close this in favor of #1592, where we are tracking efforts toward LLVM 4.0.x support

[SeanTAllen]

Reasonable.
