Try padoka ppa instead:

OpenGL core profile version string: 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa
11.2.0-devel (padoka PPA)

It's packages are built with llvm 3.8:
https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa

Be warned, this are packages contain "in development" mesa compiled
with "in development" llvm, so they may contain bugs (but I'm using
them without problems)

You are complaining about problems with packages from Oibaf's PPA, ask
Oibaf to fix them (he won't because he is busy with other things) or
make your own packages the way you want them.

That is an entirely different thing. LLVM 3.7 was published too late
to be included in Wily, and since Wily is a short term support
release, nobody seems to care.

I wouldn't expect ubuntu to provide llvm3.7+ compiled mesa packages
until Xenial (April, 2016), but right now the develipment livecd
doesn't. I've just tried it and Xenial still uses llvm3.6.
