Re: problem with "make index"

I need to clear some stuff here. There was a phab review brewing for 
some time https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35288

First mistake. The entire WASI toolchain has to be updated, since this 
is LLVM and no API/ABI compatibility between major versions and all. See 
the phab chain, where one item actually had to be reverted to a previous 
upstream revision.

Staying at 13 or another LLVM version where the entire chain's version 
matches is required unless you are okay with unexpected or unexplainable 
failures.

I will go further:

This was not to be committed at all right now, despite appearances. And 
I say this as one who is still dogfooding the entire WASI-LLVM 14 chain, 
with www/firefox as the prime consumer, with LTO enabled. Those 
interested in helping dogfood, identify failure modes, et al with 
LLVM_DEFAULT=14 can grab the entire diff chain off phab and apply it to 
your own tree or overlay.

But that doesn't address an even bigger issue that's still being figured 
out: how to make this whole situation, LTO or not, less fragile to deal 
with.
