What are the problems? The recent llvm version only works with LLVM-2.8. 
Since the LLVM API changes in each release, it is not (easily) possible to 
make it work together with different LLVM versions. (Annoyingly there are 
also new LLVM bugs on a regular basis and then sticking to a working LLVM 
version also means sticking to a specific Haskell-llvm version.)
