The version will initially remain the same so that no additional changes
to the packaging are required (i.e. this commit only includes the
required changes to build from the mono repository instead of individual
tarballs).
The purpose of this package is to continuously improve the LLVM
packaging in Nixpkgs without causing a lot of rebuilds and provide more
recent LLVM builds for users. For more details see:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/114828
Also begin to start work on cross compilation, though that will have to
be finished later.
The patches are based on the first version of
https://reviews.llvm.org/D99484. It's very annoying to do the
back-porting but the review has uncovered nothing super major so I'm
fine sticking with what I've got.
Beyond making the outputs work, I also strove to re-sync the packages,
as they have been drifting pointlessly apart for some time.
----
Other misc notes, highly incomplete
- lvm-config-native and llvm-config are put in `dev` because they are
tools just for build time.
- Clang no longer has an lld dep. That was introduced in
db29857eb3, but if clang needs help
finding lld when it is used we should just pass it flags / put in the
resource dir. Providing it at build time increases critical path
length for no good reason.
----
A note on `nativeCC`:
`stdenv` takes tools from the previous stage, so:
1. `pkgsBuildBuild`: `(?1, x, x)`
2. `pkgsBuildBuild.stdenv.cc`: `(?0, ?1, x)`
while:
1. `pkgsBuildBuild`: `(?1, x, x)`
2. `pkgsBuildBuild.targetPackages`: `(x, x, ?2)`
3. `pkgsBuildBuild.targetPackages.stdenv.cc`: `(?1, x, x)`
We can use use `stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic` instead, and move the
logic per package. The least opionated benefit of this is that it makes
it much easier to replace packages with modified ones, as there is no
longer any issue of overlay order.

Additionally cherry-picked 3 commits from `llvm-project/master`:
- llvm/llvm-project@d21664c
- llvm/llvm-project@3a0f6e6
- llvm/llvm-project@87dac7d
such that clang can automatically pick up the polly plugin from the
`llvm-polly` build.
* starting with rc2
* make `lldb` compilable again on Darwin
* separate out manpage creation for `lldb` into a new derivation
* minor tweaks to the patching of sources,
some of which are backportable to earlier versions
this adds libc++ to the LLVM cross, giving us access to the full
Nixpkgs set. This requires 4 stages of wrapped compilers:
- Clang with no libraries
- Clang with just compiler-rt
- Clang with Libc, and compiler-rt
- Clang with Libc++, Libc, and compiler-rt
