Those are just the libriaries LLVM is installing.
If it is installed into a prefix, say, /opt/mumble/{bin,lib,...} along with
other libraries, then suddenly that directory is searched in a very different
place.
I'm not arguing one way or the other here. I'm pointing out that this is a
*huge* change to make. It will cause a large number of users to silently have a
different library search path than they have had before, something that has
been fairly stable for several years. So whatever we do must be considered very
carefully.
