Ah, but then we would be back to square one when we eventually want to
update the libclc version, which is not going to be available in that
legacy mirror, but only in the official llvm-project repo...

I would say that if people are concerned about the download size, they
would have to go to the llvm project and whine there.

The subshell is totally useless; it is an anti-pattern.

That most packages use it is not a reason to keep it; instead, we should
get rid of it.

Note: I know we have similar constructs in the infras; that's not good,
at all...
