then you're missing a lot of tests then...
installing llvm is trivial. On x86 there are plenty of pre-built
packages that you can apt-get or yum.
Dave had to compile llvm and gcc from source on sparc, so volatile test
server isn't really an excuse to miss all these tests ;)
especially for such large verifier change.
