LLDB is a very important component of the Swift distribution, I'd be
hesitant to advertise support until we can get LLDB working and passing the
testsuite.

>From the activity in the bug report, it seems to me that making progress on
the upstream LLDB bug will require some initiative from someone familiar
with Fedora / RHEL -- at least starting with providing a "hacky" patch, and
improving according to the core developer's suggestions.
