LLVM should be target independent because it will work with all
machine types. This is different from GCC where it needs to know what
target to build ahead of time.
Since years I'm not maintaining anything of the list below other
than some updates when I needed them for some reason. Other people
is doing that maintenance on my behalf so I better take me out but
for very few packages. Finally!
stdenvNoCC should not inject any C++ standard library, just as it
doesn't inject any C standard library. stdenv still does, but only
indirectly through stdenv.cc. Wrapped clangs can be simplified now that
they don't need to worry about clobbering CoreFoundation when replacing
the C++ standard library implementation.
This generally-good cleanup should assist with debugging some C++
failures in #26805.
This is very similar to what we had in bb0b0822ef.
The xlocale.h header is no longer existing in glibc version 2.26, so we
need to avoid including it.
I've tested building against all of the libcxx attributes of LLVM 3.5,
3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4 and 5.
All of them succeeded except version 3.5, which failed because of an
unrelated issue (build of libc++abi has failed, one of its
dependencies), so I only verified whether the patch applies cleanly.

This requires some small changes in the stdenv, then working around the
weird choice LLVM made to hardcode @rpath in its install name, and then
lets us remove a ton of annoying workaround hacks in many of our Go
packages. With any luck this will mean less hackery going forward.
llvm-config is a tool to output compile and linker flags, when compiling against llvm.
The tool however outputs static library names despite libllvm is build
as shared library on nixos. This was fixed for llvm 3.4, 3.5 and 3.7.
For llvm 3.8 and 3.9 it printed the library extension twice (.so.so).
This was fixed in 4.0 and the patch is backported to 3.8 and 3.9 in
this pull request.
