Hi Mario,

The official approach to this is:

* Sync llvm, clang and lldb with the same effective svn version number.
* Build with them all + whatever patches you might have on the lldb side.
* When something breaks, it typically is an interface change on the way lldb 
uses clang or llvm.  If you can fix it, create a patch and fix it.  If you 
cannot, then go with one of the plan b options.

Plan B
* Go back to the previous version of clang and llvm you were using, but 
continuing to work off latest lldb + your patches.

Typically that works, except when you are working in the area of lldb that is 
using a newer API in clang/llvm.  We should not be submitting new code in lldb 
that is not working against the newest code in llvm/clang.

When neither the official approach or the Plan B work, and if you cannot figure 
out how to patch up lldb to work with latest, then you ask for help :-)

Hope that helps!
