LLVM 16 does indeed build (didn't look at the other two versions), but
the cygport misses all the work to actually produce packaging that can
be used to upgrade from the existing Cygwin version.  Source file is he
whole project instead of just LLVM + Polly and the build also enables
clang (which should be in a separate package).  Generator has been
changed from Ninja to Make (and switching back to Ninja makes the
install step fail because that target wasn't made available).  Multiple
build options have been changed from what they were in Cygwin, I have
not had time to investigate what that actually means for the resulting
compiler binaries.  I don't understand why the
process_install_dir_bin_symlinks function is necessary, as cygport
should already fix up symlinks in the install dir.  I did enable the
test suite and it tests with 259 fails (was 180 fails before and looks
about the same general pattern as with version 9.0.1).
