Which is doubly ironic. But also:

	https://llvmlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faqs.html#faq-why-static

I think I'll try to rig up a build that does what upstream wants here,
building llvm just for llvmlite and link it in statically. The current
patches maybe minimal, but running llvmlite with a stock llvm build,
let alone one with a differing version, is explicitly not supported.

Anyone against that?
