+From aeccf16eaccdd80e4d5ecaa51673ce4b2bac1130 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Date: Fri, 19 May 2017 00:22:57 -0700
+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] llvm: allow env override of exe path
+
+When using a native llvm-config from inside a sysroot, we need llvm-config to
+return the libraries, include directories, etc. from inside the sysroot rather
+than from the native sysroot. Thus provide an env override for calling
+llvm-config from a target sysroot.
+
+To let it work in multilib environment, we need to provide a knob to supply
+multilib dirname as well
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [OE-Specific]
