Yes.

This can't be right. LLVM doesn't release only on Linux.

Also, add-on toolchains don't go to /usr/local, or they would
overwrite the system one. If I want to untar, say, in /opt, I'd have a
/opt/usr/local structure, which is confusing.

Leave the specific position of the tar-ball to the system that is
being distributed at.
