I never added the tool to the tree, because I simply didn't think
anybody would need to ever run this (IMO not very useful) tool.  (Since
the configuration is totally static, there's no need to dynamically run
a tool such as this to get at the configuration details.)

It isn't too hard to re-add it to the tree though, and add it to the
WITH_CLANG_EXTRAS case.  Another possibility is to just install the
lang/clang or lang/clang-devel port.

Btw, does MCLinker want to use LLVM as a shared library, by any chance?
If that is the case, you should definitely use the port, as adding the
shared library to the system is something I still need to implement.
