Maybe clang-6.0 as the latest release (though I suspect you may run into
the recently-fixed-in-clang-7.0 "S" constraint bug that you reported).

I've had luck on debian based distributions installing from:
http://apt.llvm.org/

(These can be added to your /etc/apt/sources.list, then a `sudo apt update`
and `sudo apt install clang-6.0`)

If you're not able to add remote repositories (some employers block this ;)
), then you can find releases for download for a few different platforms:
https://releases.llvm.org/

For example, a quick:
$ mkdir llvm-6.0
$ cd !$
$ wget
https://releases.llvm.org/6.0.0/clang+llvm-6.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-debian8.tar.xz
$ tar xvf clang+llvm-6.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-debian8.tar.xz
$ ./clang+llvm-6.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-debian8/bin/clang-6.0 -v
clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: .../llvm-6.0/./clang+llvm-6.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-debian8/bin
Found candidate GCC installation: ...
Candidate multilib: .;@m64
Selected multilib: .;@m64

Seems to work.
