Description
Divine is currently built against its own copy of LLVM. This is not optimal for the ecosystem of a Linux distribution, where common dependencies are usually shared by many packages. Such approach helps to reduce both the build time and the installation footprint. Moreover bugs in the software are fixed at a single place. Hence some Linux distributions (including Fedora) disallow bundling of software in their packaging policies. Would it be possible to extend Divine such that it can be built against system LLVM 9.x?

Fedora 33+ uses LLVM 11, so I am updating this ticket.

While it's a commendable goal, we currently don't have the resources to track multiple LLVM versions, or push LLVM patches upstream. Perhaps at a later point, manpower permitting.
