Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix symlink path for libgcc
The symlink for libgcc_so.1.0 is made to point to libunwind.so
which is functionally correct but it fails some linux distro packaging
complain because libunwind.so is made part of -dev package but
libgcc_so.1.0 ends up in the real package, and creates an unneeded
package -> dev dependency
create the symlink to point to libunwind.so.1 instead then the boundaries
of packaging are not crossed and all is well.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [llvm-libgcc] Fix libgcc.a symlink path when
LLVM_ENABLE_PER_TARGET_RUNTIME_DIR=OFF
The llvm-libgcc installation was creating incorrect symlinks for libgcc.a
when built with LLVM_ENABLE_PER_TARGET_RUNTIME_DIR=OFF, particularly seen with
Yocto cross-compilation environments.
Issues seen:
- Absolute path in symlink: The previous code didn't handle absolute paths
returned by get_compiler_rt_install_dir() in staging/sysroot environments,
resulting in symlinks like:
libgcc.a -> /absolute/path/to/sysroot/usr/lib/clang/.../libclang_rt.builtins.a
- Missing architecture suffix: When the install path contained "clang", the
code would skip setting builtins_suffix, creating:
libgcc.a -> clang/21.1.4/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins.a
instead of:
libgcc.a -> clang/21.1.4/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins-aarch64.a
- Incorrect relative path calculation: The original regex stripped too much
or too little of the path, either creating symlinks pointing to non-existent
locations or stripping the clang/ directory prefix entirely.
Solution:
- Extract the relative path starting from 'clang/' when present in absolute
paths, ensuring the symlink points to the correct location within the
installation hierarchy
- Always append the architecture suffix to the builtins library name
- Only prepend '../' to the path when LLVM_ENABLE_PER_TARGET_RUNTIME_DIR is
enabled, as this is when the builtins are in a different directory level
The symlink now correctly points to the existing compiler-rt builtins library
without creating duplicate copies.
Tested with LLVM_ENABLE_PER_TARGET_RUNTIME_DIR=OFF in cross-compilation
environments (aarch64 target).
