Yay for reduced closures!!

Maybe add a line saying that this is a slim variant specifically
tailored for Mesa, that takes X% of the size of the default LLVM.

Add (name "llvm-for-mesa") ?

So the result is two build only two backends, for example x86_64 and
AMDGPU, right?

Should we pass -DDISABLE_STATIC=ON or whatever it’s called instead?

Why do we need this extra phase compared to ‘llvm’?  Please add a
comment.  :-)

The non-literal pattern here, and that it explicitly refers to the build
directory, is not great.

I believe you can use (string-append (getcwd) "/lib") as the pattern,
fixing the second problem.  Not sure about the first one.

Thank you!
