A previous argument against the LLVM versions of binutils replacements
is that they were excessively large, but this does not look like a
substantial problem here. LLVM's cxxfilt is indeed many times the size
of ELF Tool Chain's, but still small enough that for a tool chain
component it's not a concern, in my opinion.

ELF Tool Chain:
$ size obj/c++filt
   text   data    bss     dec       hex   filename
  66966   1008   8400   76374   0x12a56   obj/c++filt

LLVM:
$ size obj/llvm-cxxfilt
    text   data    bss      dec       hex   filename
  378138   1756   9165   389059   0x5efc3   obj/llvm-cxxfilt

A remaining issue is that both nm and addr2line can also demangle C++ symbols.
