They're having to use a custom version of LLVM (for GC reasons, I think) but havent yet got the patches back into the upstream mainline (but are presumably planning to).

Hah, all sane modern languages needs to patch LLVM for GC reasons :) The guys writing it did not really know a lot about that area and how to get those intrinsic features into the LLVM proper.

  Are "the guys" the LLVM people or the Rust implementers?

    I imagine the LLVM people. If you look at the LLVM documentation there is still a lot to do to be able to support most performant GC algorithms.
