What is the best option to get llvm-config on my system? Can I just run make && make install somewhere in /usr/src? I never added the tool to the tree, because I simply didn't think anybody would need to ever run this (IMO not very useful) tool. (Since the configuration is totally static, there's no need to dynamically run a tool such as this to get at the configuration details.) It isn't too hard to re-add it to the tree though, and add it to the WITH_CLANG_EXTRAS case. Another possibility is to just install the lang/clang or lang/clang-devel port. Btw, does MCLinker want to use LLVM as a shared library, by any chance? If that is the case, you should definitely use the port, as adding the shared library to the system is something I still need to implement.
