I was trying to do the minimal change to cover llvm. I definitely care about
LLD and will do that in a subsequent change.
As to the benefit of this, it is primarily that the detection here explicitly
ensures that python3 is used rather than python2. The fallback of aliasing is
the easiest way to achieve this without having a lot of complicated logic at
each site:
if(NOT Python3_Interpreter_FOUND)
add_custom_command(...)
else()
add_custom_command(...)
endif()
which would be the way to handle that. Creating another wrapper function is a
terrible thing just to filter out incidental python usage would not only be
extremely complicated but a large amount of logic that would also increase
configure times unnecessarily.
The detection here is far more robust and precise. `Python3_EXECUTABLE` is the
CMake variable name, not something that I chose.
