Doing so changes the size of the compressed toolchain archive from ~280M
to ~120M, and the decompressed size from ~1500M to ~675M. This will
reduce the overhead of decompression during builds.
As we ship llvm-symbolizer as part of ASan builds, we do need it to
still statically link against LLVM, which we do with a small patch.
With LLVM as a shared library, libLTO, which is used by cctools-port for
the linker, is dynamically linked to LLVM, and the cctools-port
configure script fails to link against libLTO. So we add a -rpath-link
to make it find the LLVM library. This happens to force a rebuild of
cctools-port, but for future cases where we might need a rebuild because
of some clang changes, we add a comment to ease the process, and avoid
a newer cctools-port taking the cache spot of an older one.
Ideally, mac cctools-port would need something similar, but it needs a
mac libLTO.dylib, which is not there anyways (and the mac cctools-port
thus already didn't support LTO).
Also, with LLVM built as a shared library, all its symbols are exported
with a LLVM_x.y version. Combined with -static-libstdc++ that is used
during the clang build, this causes problems (see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1492037#c7). But it turns
out things have evolved since -static-libstdc++ has been added to the
clang build script, and things work without now, so remove it (as well
as -static-libgcc).

CCTools-port needs to be rebuilt in some cases of clang changes, which
this one of, so touch the script so that it happens.
