Any progress on fixing the tutorial?

I am about to dive into LLVM and after some hair-pulling found that the
Kaleidoscope tutorials (from part 5 onwards), are broken.

Obviously this is not a good first impression.

(even a note in the source code, #error "currently does not work", would be
a huge improvement, since it would avoid a lot of wasted time for the beginner.)

PS. On OS X 10.8.5, the compile command for part 4 of the tutorial needs
-fno-rtti, presumably because the code now inherits from a LLVM class.
