[LLVMdev] dot release for 3.4

We are starting to move to using llvm/clang x86 as the starting point 
for mips native compilers.

It's important to make sure that gcc cross compilers can do this too but 
sometimes there are issues there;
especially now as c++11 is moving into the foreground. We are working to 
also make sure this works.

As 3.5 llvm is probably around the corner; our use of clang/llvm for 
this starting point does not work with 3.4
but does work with current tip of tree and going back some amount of 
time too.

It would seem that dot releases would be important for others that want 
to have clang/llvm be the starting point
for the following major releases.

In other words, a compiler which can be used to build the next one.
