The new calling convention in LLVM needed by GHC has just been 
committed! Unfortunately it missed the 2.7 window by about 2 days but 
Chris said he will see if he can still get it in. So by April 5th there 
may be a release version of LLVM with the features needed by GHC, or by 
around end of October of this year when 2.8 is released.

You can see the patch in full here:

David
