Installation of llvmlite package (required by numba) fails without anaconda distro

[jllanfranchi]

I thought I had this working previously, but now I cannot seem to get numba to install since llvmlite is itself failing to install. Looks like same issue as here: https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/issues/182 . Possible I'm missing something, so if someone else can install numba (and hence llvmlite) without the Anaconda Python distribution, I'd like to hear how you get this working (and what OS / versions of gcc, llvm, etc you have.)

To be clear, numba is installable just fine for me using the Anaconda Python distribution (I'm running Ubuntu 16.04).
