Without asking the aria2 developers, I would argue that once you've got
it built, it's likely compatible with the previous 1.X versions with
respect to its public interfaces (shell, possibly library API,
configuration files) so the developers did not move to a major 2.X release.

Also you could argue that C++11 has caught on relatively quickly so it
might appear to the aria2 developers to be a minor move.

No, the fix is to rebuild libLLVM-3.3.so after the system upgrade.

Was the configure complaining, or the build after you'd hacked the
configure script?  I presume you'd have to use gcc48.
