OK.
As there exist no prebuilt-toolchain for Ubuntu/precise I have to
compile by myself, so I am interested in the source-tarballs.

I did a quick test with compiling my intel-ddx [1] on Ubuntu/precise with...

$ LC_ALL=C clang -v
clang version 3.8.0 (tags/RELEASE_380/rc2)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /opt/llvm/bin
Found candidate GCC installation: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6

...will check Linux v4.4.2 when it's released.
