In the past we did not, but Dimitry started requesting fixes with
3.5.1. As the LLVM release model has been evolving over time, so has
our process for bringing Clang/LLVM/LLDB into FreeBSD. We used to
carry around a large set of both local changes and backported fixes,
but have been working to make that smaller and smaller as we move
forward.

(The 3.5.1 request is here, for interest:
