I am using Linux mint 17.2 and I use oibaf ppa for radeonsi drivers. They provide 

OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 11.2.0-devel (git-0a6a17b 2015-12-18 trusty-oibaf-ppa)

support when my card would already support 4.1 and using mint provided packages it's even worse. I think the packages provided only opengl 2.0 or 2.1 support. This means that I have many games that doent work because of this. 

Now the issue. Oipaf doesnt provide llvm 3.7 compiled packages so I could have more recent opengl extensions because 

"When Ubuntu will provide an llvm that properly build on i386."

This is not only a problem with Linux mint.
