It seems that llhttp includes a build step for generating C-files using TypeScript, making it a non-starter for proper packaging in Guix.

As long as they are still supported by upstream, I see no issue with this. The 8.x LTS is still maintained through the end of 2019. I am not sure the 9.X series is still supported. If not, it might make more sense to remove it instead of updating it.
