Unfortunately, this section https://llvmlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin-guide/install.html#building-manually makes packaging almost impossible - upstream demands we build a particular variant of LLVM from source and points out that using the system installation of LLVM won't work. Void typically doesn't maintain special versions of dependencies, and especially those as large as LLVM.

Unfortunately, requiring a patched LLVM is a deal-breaker here; this is the same reason we struck Julia from the repo.
