Hi,

My build setup contains WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN which saved me a lot of time on the Raspberry Pi's.
Since a while they are building llvm/clang stuff nonetheless.
I have the feeling this started when llvm/clang started to be build as private libraries.

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/2e47f35be5dc61945afdbd1a70e8fd505c032c94

Could this change have influenced how WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN works?
Would it be possible to skip building these libraries using other knobs?

Or is my thought about this unfounded?

Regards,
Ronald.
