@mgorny, I don't think LLVMgold qualifies as a runtime in the traditional 
sense. It more closely aligns with the tools vended by LLVM even though it is a 
shared library not an executable.

Runtime libraries are specifically libraries that products of clang are linked 
against (builtins, sanitizers, libcxx, libunwind...).

That bit of semantics aside, I don't think there is any situation where 
LLVMgold's libdir suffix would be different from LLVM's libdir suffix. Since 
LLVMgold is built and installed as part of LLVM, there is no mechanism (nor do 
I think there should be) to cause such a differentiation.

@rafael may disagree, and I will defer to his judgment if he does. My take is 
that we should just use LLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX for LLVMgold, and not have a 
separate variable.
