I agree, but can we condone, or even redistribute, a script that post-processes 
the files this way, so anyone can replicate this setup for their personal use?

Looking at the linked github repo (which as you say may be violating a 
license), it really makes me question the entire Unix /usr/(include|lib) design 
philosophy, of having one single, global header and library search directory. 
But, that is what people do in practice. :)

I recall @compnerd asked for this at some point in the past, but perhaps he's 
just adopted the `ciopfs` mount solution. Anyway, [my search didn't find an 
existing 
issue](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20case%20insensitive),
 so I'll file a new one for that. ... Filed as issue #161400 .
