LLVM is known to make no promise of API stability between versions, so if Rust in the future is to support compilation with system LLVM (which it doesn't at the moment), it should be wary of these problems. Although some LLVM users try to suppot multiple versions of LLVM, I am not sure whether Rust should do so.
I would not spend a lot of energy supporting multiple versions. "As many versions as are easy" is fine by me. LLVM is big but not impossibly big, and if we wind up needing a different-than-trunk version on a given system, I think it will not be the end of the world.
