Nothing formal right now. People test it by using it to boot their dev 
machine, and run their normal desktop apps. Not a thorough test for 
x86_64 yet.

Consistency. The build system nails down versions of tools and source 
used and such. It allows people working on the LLVMLinux project to be 
able to remove variables when issues like this occur. Exactly what 
you've built, and how you're building it is not something that we can 
see, nor is it something you've told us (other than in the most vaguest 
of terms). However if you use the build system you can trivially 
replicate the same build that I can build here.

User space libraries are used by userspace, not by the kernel.

The project certainly doesn't guarantee that the config file will work 
with your specific HW. That's something only you can really figure out.
