This has now been updated:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc2.snap/releases/tag/rev3

The new package uses a fresh build of LLVM 3.9.1 as the backend, 
as well as bootstrapping with a fresh build of LDC 0.17.3.

Thanks to Johan's advice I've also enabled LTO support.  This is 
definitely an experimental feature -- I'm not 100% sure the 
package's LLVMgold-ldc.so plugin will work on systems that do not 
have ABI compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04 -- but since the package 
is still in the (bleeding) 'edge' channel, I thought it was worth 
trying out ;-)

Let me know if you try it out and it works (or fails!) for you!

Thanks & best wishes,
