I have been using LLVM 3.4 for a while, and it seems to work just fine. There are only a few issues that may need addressing (#6635, #6757, #6369) to make LLVM 3.4 default.

If 0.3 is still a few weeks away, it may be worthwhile to update to 3.4. We could then potentially have Julia 0.3 on ARM (#3134).

I object somewhat strongly. We've been running on 3.3 reliably for a while and this is not the time to experiment. We can do that the first thing after 0.3 is released.

Anything other than 3.3 is nonfunctional on Windows right now.

Here's 3.4 from a few weeks ago: https://gist.github.com/tkelman/11294079
And here's 3.5 svn from a few days ago: https://gist.github.com/tkelman/1d0edd8809aecc975cb9

@tkelman I had missed the Windows issue. Thanks.

Even if the windows issues did not exist, I would object to ignoring the regressions on Linux and MacOS. In particular #6369 may seem obscure, but a deep regression which impacts Cairo (and therefore Gadfly) could delay Julia adoption by folks who cannot or prefer not to visualize their data in their heads. ;) Until the Julia regression suite coverage is much greater than it is today, these canaries in the coal mine should be treated as serious until proved innocuous.
