+If you use GCC 5 or higher on Linux, please do not use our LLVM package, but get
+the package for your distribution. Our LLVM package is compiled with GCC 4, so
+you get linking errors, because GCC 5 is using a C++ 11 conforming string
+implementation, which is not used by GCC 4. To sum it up, do not mix GCC 5 and
+GCC 4 binaries. On Ubuntu, you can download the package from
