Possibly. I regard rebuilding rustc for this as churn. It also needs to be tested by someone who has llvm-8 installed (I don't, and I'm not likely to have that for some weeks), and from memory Bruce apparently built rustc without problems, but then he later did run into problems.
On that basis, I think we should let people like Arch try it out first ;-)
OTOH, whenever rustc *needs* to be updated to a newer version (presumably for a new major version of firefox) then system llvm will be worth retrying.

I just tried. It requires a large patch to make rustc-1.33 build with llvm-8 because some llvm API changes. It may be why the Arch guys are still using llvm-7.
rustc-1.34 will work.
