Comment (by carter):

 @schyler: yes it dees install them.  You  just need to  make sure you brew
 linked em and that the ghc settings file  points to that version / name
 variant of the opt and LLC commands.  I suspect you just didn't check
 that.

 Ghc  is not going to be bundled with llvm in the next year.  If the ghc
 user can't install llvm on their machine, they shouldn't use it.

 That said, Suggestion of the ticket  is valid in premise but not in
 details.  For example, ghc iOS  needs  llvm 3.0


 George: where in the docs is the current  information  you're referring
 to?
