Right, in fact I understand that the component shared libs are only
intended for LLVM developers, and IME trying to use them causes various
undesirable side effects.

Steam and some Steam games unnecessarily overriding system libraries
with stale versions causes problems with other libraries as well, so it
requires other solutions than linking LLVM statically anyway.

For all the reasons Tom mentioned, I kindly ask to leave the possibility
of dynamically linking LLVM.
