Comment(by mfeiri@…):

 I was wondering why we didn't get any reports about this issue and why I
 haven't noticed any problem during my own tests (I did test various
 upgrade scenarios). So I spent some time trying to reproduce this issue by
 uninstalling and cleaning llvm, downgrading the Portfile to r70474,
 installing llvm at 2.7_2 through macports, upgrading the Portfile to the
 latest version, and then upgrading to this latest version of llvm.
 Everything went fine.

 After reading your patch and your explanation I would agree that there
 could be a issue. And your patch shouldnt cause any trouble, so we could
 include it anyway. But I am hesitant to force a (possibly multi-hour)
 rebuild of llvm on all current users of this port without a good reason to
 do so.

 I don't have time to investigate this in more detail. I am tempted to
 close this reports as "worksforme". The new version 2.9 of llvm (including
 your fix) should arrive within weeks anyway.
