 This source package is unfortunately quite tricky and with
 several cutting edges, due to the complexity of rust-lang
 bootstrapping system and the high rate of language changes

-   Moreover, the code does not seem to build against 3.6 rc1

-   Rust fork delta is minimal and mostly performance/optimizations only.
-   Declared goal is to get in synch with vanilla LLVM.
-   However, rust depends on some features not available in LLVM-3.5,
-   while LLVM-3.6 is still pending release. See:

 As a summary, we plan to:
  * keep embedding jemalloc (probably forever)
- * wait for a stable LLVM-3.6 to try the switch
  * work with upstream to fix compiler-rt linkage soon.
