llvm-config --ldflags lists all libs used *anywhere* in LLVM, regardless of
whether the user is linking to them.
For instance: this causes a static compiler to link to libffi, which is only
used by the JIT AFAIK[1].

[1]: And which is not installed on all systems I might add, so this is a
problem for distributing binaries of said static compiler.

I'm working around this by manually editing llvm-config...
