Here's one example:

# ls -il /usr/ports/devel/llvm39/work/stage/usr/local/llvm39/bin/lit
4797459 -r-xr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  82 Jan 24 10:17 lit

# ls -il /usr/ports/devel/llvm39/work/stage/usr/local/bin/llvm-lit39
4797459 -r-xr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  82 Jan 24 10:17 llvm-lit39

As I stated above llvm37 and the previous version of binutils both installed
without issue.

# pkg info llvm\*
llvm33-3.3_10
llvm34-3.4.2_1
llvm35-3.5.2
llvm36-3.6.2_2
llvm37-3.7.1_3

        GOLD           : on
        LIT            : on

Checking /usr/local/llvm37/bin shows no file named "lit", so I assume these
hard links came with files that didn't exist in llvm37.
