Because https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=llvm-toolchain-7
 -> cmake missing on kfreebsd-*
 -> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=905138
 -> maintainer says this should be fixed by cmake upstream first

I'll see if I can find a porterbox to get a backtrace.


In the meantime, there's a third architecture where llvm itself
compiled, but explodes with PG11 - x32:

  SELECT '' AS tf_12, BOOLTBL1.*, BOOLTBL2.*
     FROM BOOLTBL1, BOOLTBL2
     WHERE BOOLTBL2.f1 <> BOOLTBL1.f1;
! FATAL:  fatal llvm error: Cannot select: 0x57a7ae60: ch,glue = X86ISD::CALL 0x57a7add0, 0x57a7af38, Register:i32
