I don't think so but I don't know.  Upstream the package is called
compiler-rt.  AFAICT it's really for the C/C++ front end as its job is
mostly to support "sanitizers" for C/C++ semantics, and indeed in Guix
it's used by the clang (cfe) package and not by the llvm package.  Happy
to change names of course, but it seems to me that clang-runtime is the
better name, and given that upstream doesn't give us a usable name I
think we're free to choose whatever we like.

Cheers,

Andy
