Bug description

There is a code generation bug involving the LLVMGetBufferStart function, as it falsely returns a String instead of a long, because the code generator seems to assume String based on the native function's const char* return type. Imo LLVM itself should just return a (const) void* there.. But that's not to question for me xD

This small issue has been bugging me for a while as i have to use the nGetBufferStart function instead as a workaround.

Thanks for the great work on the LLVM bindings otherwise, really nice to quickly build a compiler in Java :)

@KitsuneAlex This will be fixed in the first 3.3.4 snapshot, thanks!
