Pull #320261 introduced the possibility to consistently override
dependencies within an llvm package set. This is useful for development
and testing exotic configurations.
Go one step further and enable overriding targetLlvmLibraries.
This makes it possible to write an overlay such as:
... where the overridden compiler-rt will be used in a pkgsLLVM build.
As a straw man, I've done the minimally invasive thing to the code
structure:
targetLlvmLibraries
is not an explicitly named parameterfor llvmPackages; but it is available in
packageSetArgs
if passed.This makes it slightly less discoverable, but this seems like a
reasonable tradeoff considered that modifying this would be a fairly
advanced/esoteric thing to need to do.
In some ways it would be better to have as an explicit parameter with a
default, but the obvious thing won't work because the default needs to
be a non-trivial expression. Potentially we could instead have it as a
defaulted parameter with the value of 'null', and if it's null, then
compute the current thing.
