Cc'ing jmd@ and rezny@.

I've been watching increasing size of our LLVM packages with increasing
worry.  This is from my tinderbox cache:

  $ % env LANG=C ls -lh llvm3*
  -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    17M Jan 29  2016 llvm35-3.5.2_1.txz
  -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    18M Mar  7  2016 llvm36-3.6.2_2.txz
  -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    27M Feb 28 01:05 llvm37-3.7.1_4.txz
  -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   207M Jan 19 18:20 llvm38-3.8.1_5.txz
  -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   244M Mar 23 16:42 llvm39-3.9.1_2.txz

Dimitry, do you know what had causes such a huge bump in 37 -> 38?

They take lots of time to build and package.  And given that llvm
is indirect dependency of any X11-related port, it pessimises their
build times as well (devel/libclc now requires devel/llvm40 after
r437268).

With 49 GiB llvm40, I guess I won't be able to build-test post as my
hardware would just not be capable enough.
