A separate /lib. Archlinux can do this because the package installs at the
expected /lib. I remember trying to set a libdir, but that failed because the
libdir and the rest of llvm didn't share the same prefix. Of course you can
still try, I'll be happy if you can find a way to split the package properly :)
