I responded when it was worth to respond. Dennis Veatch on Sun 16:03:43 
wrote on ML in this topic:
"Who broke this; (...) " You have selected all GPU drivers or Radeon,
but llvm module is NOT installed."(...)
"I don't WANT none of that crap so I said yes to which specific drivers I 
wanted leaving them all unselected. So your gonna force me to install 
them?"(...)

My response, same day, 22:10:02:
"Tell me your selections so I'll try to reproduce the issue.
If mesa-lib is asking you to install llvm you might selected something 
which needs it for build."

My response after reading all this chat is still tonight 2012-06-20 
00:41:00 the same:
WTF have you selected? There is more questions asked than those two 
answers you described.

How do you expect me to fix the issue? I build mesa on Atom netbook, 
VMware notebook and Geforce 8200. No single error. And I do not have llvm 
installed on netbook and Geforce 8200. Someone (v4hn?) also tested on 
radeon which needs llvm. I remeber IRC chat with him. Module was hanging 
for a long time also on dev ML for testing. I do not remeber if I have 
llvm on laptop because I do not have it now. I'm not all seeing eye, good 
wizard or your mum so can not jump into your mind or behind your back to 
see what you do. Send me also compile log.

OK. Let see if I'm good wizard or Dennis mum. Do lunar update, select what 
you selected before and see if mesa-lib still asks for llvm.

People love compile errors. I have no doubt someone will share it with you 
as Valentine.

When I commited mesa-lib I also had such good mood. You'll be surprised 
what users can do. For example Dennis who when asked to select gpu driver 
nothing selected. :)
