llvm+clang not prebuilt for ppc64el (OpenPOWER) systems

[madscientist159]

There are no prebuilt packages available for ppc64el (OpenPOWER) systems, despite the software working on those platforms.

OpenPOWER systems are being deployed more widely, especially in education, and having an easy way to install a newer IDE version than the 1.5 version in Debian Experimental would be much appreciated.

I can provide a prebuilt binary on request for publication if that is easiest.

Note the following patch is needed to get clang to build on gcc8:

Subject: [PATCH] Fix return type in ORC readMem() client interface.

GCC 8.0.1 detects the type mismatch and causes the compilation to fail. Clang
and earlier versions of GCC don't detect the issue.

Fixes rhbz#1540620.
