Thanks for the PR. llvmlite and also the entire Numba stack will actually need testing on all the arch/OS combinations to ensure that it does indeed work ok before declaring it as such, thanks for your understanding.

A quick fix is to run

pip install git+https://github.com/jschueller/llvmlite.git@patch-1

Unless I am mistaken, the above patch is not adding support, it is just removing the version check.

This is kind of a blocker for Fedora. Fedora started to ship the release candidates of llvm 10 in the meantime.

LLVM 9 support is now on master, it's finally passed testing on all platforms/OS: #548

There's also now an env var to permit building against unsupported LLVMs http://llvmlite.pydata.org/en/latest/admin-guide/install.html#compiling-llvmlite
