Even with that one character change the LLVM detection is not complete
or correct. Specifically, building the compiler will enforce the right
llvm version, but the binary-dist configure script just uses "llc" and
"opt".

Furthermore, I am pretty sure that #10292 is causes by llvm-3.5 and that
if we use llvm-3.6 buildng on Arm works. Unfortunately building and
testing on Arm takes a long time and I am still in the process of
verifying this.
