I can only guess that you don't have them because an older version of pkg
failed to tell you that they weren't installed because llvm37 definitely
does create such a link in the port. Something has definitely gone wrong
on your system, but I'm at a lost a to what it it. Here's what I'd
expect to see:
$ ls -li /usr/local/bin/*lit*37 /usr/local/llvm37/bin/*lit*
1580744 -r-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 82 Dec 27 05:29 /usr/local/bin/lit37
1580744 -r-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 82 Dec 27 05:29 /usr/local/bin/llvm-lit37
1580744 -r-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 82 Dec 27 05:29 /usr/local/llvm37/bin/lit
1580744 -r-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 82 Dec 27 05:29
/usr/local/llvm37/bin/llvm-lit
That being said, I could switch them to symlinks. In general I don't
like this as a precedent. I'm definitely not willing to support arbitrary
filesystem hierarchies so if we're going to do this, we need some sort
of principles for splits that we're willing to support.
