qdoc is a host tool that scans qt-based source code, extracts the
special comments, and generates the documentation. It does not generate
target binary (afaik). It is only linked with libclang:

    $ readelf -d build/qt5tools-5.12.5/bin/qdoc
    Dynamic section at offset 0x229680 contains 34 entries:
      Tag        Type                         Name/Value

But if there is no target llvm built, we could just fallback to the host
machine, then, no?
