They should run as part of check-all when you have compiler-rt checked out
in llvm/projects/ (or the equivalent with the monorepo setup, which I think
is just setting the appropriate LLVM_EXTERNAL_*_SOURCE_DIR cmake variable).
I forget, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a "check-compiler-rt" or
similar. I've also used llvm-lit in the past (look at what
check-compiler-rt does; I think it just calls llvm-lit).
