New description:

 As documented in #9929 ghc 7.10.1 only supports llvm 3.5.

 This should be documented in the release notes section of the GHC Users's

 from

  Secondly, if you are running Mac OS X with LLVM 3.0 or greater

 to

   Secondly, if you are running Mac OS X with LLVM 3.5

 from

  In order to use the LLVM based code generator, you should install the
 Homebrew package manager for OS X.

 to

  In order to use the LLVM based code generator, you should install the
 Homebrew package manager for OS X and then install LLVM 3.5
