But maybe we can ask the LLVM project owner why they removed the
prebuilt multi-targets since 20.0.0.
May current patch can support multiple target layouts of pre-15 and
post-15 patterns (I believe they will keep the one of post-15 for the
future), if they can provide the prebuilt multi-targets via package
managers or release tarballs then it is the best solution.
In the future we might need other functions from those libraries and
implementing it in U-Boot is not a good choice IMO.
