Ok, I got the release_23 branch and added/removed files until it would build without errors. I didn't have time to test 
the clang build, but at least this patch will make things compile so someone else can test it.

PS. Visual Studio really hates how the operator new is overridden in User.h:42, you get thousands upon thousands of 
warnings of the form:

warning C4291: 'void *llvm::User::operator new(size_t,size_t)' : no matching operator delete found; memory will not be 
freed if initialization throws an exception

There's also quite a few other things you get warnings about, mixed use of struct/class for the same thing and 
conversions from 64 bit to 32 bit that are potentially unsafe. Also constantfolding.cpp has two functions that don't 
return a value (but have assert(0 && ...) at the end) at line 622 and 605 without calling abort() -- Visual Studio give 
warnings about other places that _do_ call abort() as well, but I guess that's fine.
