There some progress on Numba. I've got 0.33.0 in experimental now, with llvmlite 0.18.0 running
on LLVM 4.0. Sorry for the delay.
The good news is, the problem with llvm.get_host_cpu_features() yielding a runtime error on
some archs disappeared, and Numba is ready for Numpy 1.12 now.
Unfortunately, it remains being a test failure fest, and builds nowhere w/o problems:

I've posted bug reports on the individual issues, if you want to fix some and provide patches,
welcome.
