I have again trouble with installing llvm-base. The generated package info 
contains a reference to both LLVM-2.8 and LLVM-3.2 library. After having 
fixed manually I can run LLVM code from GHCi, but compiled programs using 
LLVM crash.
  The configure procedure was always fragile and seems to remain fragile. 
:-( I would prefer to use the pkg-config technique but the LLVM developers 
do not seem to care about:

I waste hours after hours for getting every new version of LLVM to work 
with Haskell. I am wondering how to cope with that situation in the 
future. Would it make sense if we write our own .pc files and use them for 
building llvm-base with cabal and without 'configure'?
