This guarding is wrong. As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst notes, LLVM=1
switches the default of tools, but you can still override CC, LD, etc.
individually.

BTW, LLVM is not 1/0 flag. If LLVM is not passed in, it is empty.

Non-zero return code is all treated as failure anyway.

So, $(success,test $(LLVM) -eq 1) and $(success,test "$(LLVM)" = 1)
works equivalently in the sense that both are expanded to 'n' if LLVM
is not given. The difference is that the former internally fails due
to syntax error.

  $ test ${LLVM} -eq 1
  bash: test: -eq: unary operator expected
  $ echo $?
  2

  $ test "${LLVM}" -eq 1
  bash: test: : integer expression expected
  $ echo $?
  2

  $ test "${LLVM}" = 1
  echo $?
  1

  $ test -n "${LLVM}"
  $ echo $?
  1

Do we have the same problem with LLVM_IAS?  LGTM otherwise, but wanted
to check that before signing off.

(Also, the rest of the patches in this series seem more related to
DWARFv5 cleanups; this patch seems orthogonal while those are a
visible progression).

IIRC, we needed some other LLVM utilities like llvm-nm and llvm-ar,
which are checked below. So I guess we can still support CC=clang
AR=llvm-ar NM=llvm-nm, and this check is redundant.

Yes, there is not too much point of checking if $(LLVM) is set or not
because we already check for the other tools.

3/4 will replace this LLVM_IAS check with AS_IS_LLVM.

We do not need to add a noise change.

Kind of orthogonal, but I am touching the same code hunk,
which would cause a merge conflict.

Yes, I think so.

I'm fine with removing the check, but the idea here was to just make
it slightly harder for people to accidentally use a mismatched
toolchain, even though checking for LLVM=1 doesn't stop them from
doing so anyway. But yes, the only LLVM tools required in addition to
the compiler and the linker are llvm-ar and llvm-nm.
