Without process_install_dir_bin_symlinks, you can't get an installable package *.xz. For simplicity, I personally think to put all llvm related packages in an all-in-one "llvm" package is a good idea. The new llvm package is going to replace the old clang and llvm, and maybe other llvm related packages.
