Comment (by George):

 As I said in my first sentence doc location is
 ../ghc-7.8.20140130/docs/users_guide/users_guide/code-generators.html
 #llvm-code-gen

 I don't understand why the details are not valid, I don't talk about iOS
 just Mac OS X. The doc refers to OS X and is wrong wrt LLVM, correct? When
 I said llvm 3.4 is the preferred version I meant for MAC OS X and I
 believe for Windows and Linux which is what this section of the document
 refers to. I should have written I believe llvm 3.4 is the preferred
 version for Mac OS X ...

 Additionally for Mac OS X it should mention that Clang is available from
 Apple not supplied by default, correct?

 However you have a good point about llvm 3.0 being the preferred version
 for 3.0. Thanks for bringing that up, definitely needs to be documented.
 Is the problem with 3.4 on the llvm side or the Haskell side?

 Are there other OS that require an earlier version of llvm?
