The one line fix on its own:

-    *TargetPtr |= Result >> (48 - 5);
+    *TargetPtr |= (Result & 0xffff000000000000ULL) >> (48 - 5);

...allows julia from the archive to run on my Raspberry Pi 3.
Building julia now also succeeds.

Julia needs to be rebuilt on arm64 for the LLVM versioned symbols transition (see #849098) anyway.

This line of code is still present in LLVM 3.9.1 (and 3.7 and 3.5), but seems to be fixed in 4.0 (thanks jcristau and bunk for checking).

Unfortunately, this one line fix does not solve the problem of the LLVM build hanging during the sanitizer tests.

Both issues appeared around the same time and seem to be linked to specific kernel versions. In Ubuntu, both julia and llvm-toolchain-3.8 built in late March with Ubuntu's 4.4.0-66-generic kernel. In late April, the next build of llvm-toolchain-3.8 failed with kernel 4.4.0-72-generic and a few days later, the next build of julia failed with kernel 4.4.0-77-generic.
