That is strange as it should be built for you under the `swig_prefix`. I wonder
if it is being built but is not being seen by llvm's cmake. I had to add
building swig for MacOS. ON FreeBSD the package was all that was needed.

I think at this point in time this is fine. It would be good have this
dependency properly managed but this moves us into the issues in the other
thread about packages and the dependencies.

Is this the LLVM git version and as the source is not in git the version is
'0.0.0', ie no version?

OK. This looks like a dependency. Do you know which tool in LLVM needed this?

Great.

We are building lldb and I suspect it is adding these extra dependencies.

Thank you for taking the time to test and report what you have found.
