OK. If the binary tar balls are not meant for end users but to be merely a
product of the default build options for testing, then this does not matter.

I thought they were provided for user convenience, e.g., when using in
distributions that do not ship/backport new LLVM versions to all their
releases, which is the usual case.

In my case I found it convenient to download a binary package for a Pentium 4
with an Ubuntu 12.04 for which it takes pretty much a day to build it from 
sources, until I found it doesn't have the shared lib I need (and AFAIU not
the RTTI either). Well, I continue building from the sources like previously,
not a big deal.
