Interesting.  Was that not a concern when that choice was made for llbuild, or 
was the context different?

That’s a significant change to make just to get C++14 support guaranteed, and 
(I believe) would have a non-trivial impact on those using development 
environments that expect to use the Clang bundled with them to build projects.
