Often times parameters are added/removed from llvm and clang functions that we 
use. 

If you want to try and update clang on your own, feel free, but you will need 
to figure out the issues on your own.

Feel free to do this on your own if you want, or wait until we update. 

So much changes from clang build to clang build and this is why we lock onto a 
specific revision (so we don't have to deal with constantly changing APIs).

Again, any reason you want to update to the latest clang other than causing 
yourself pain?
