Bug description:
I initially encountered this build issue on Gentoo.
Currently the regex in Tools/jit/_llvm.py
only allows strings of the form version MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
_LLVM_VERSION_PATTERN = re.compile(rf"version\s+{_LLVM_VERSION}\.\d+\.\d+\s+")
However if LLVM was built with e.g. -DLLVM_VERSION_SUFFIX=+libcxx
(as is the case on Gentoo) clang --version
would return clang version 18.1.7+libcxx
which is a valid version but doesn't match.
My proposed fix would be to simply allow a non-whitespace string of arbitrary length after the version, i.e.:
_LLVM_VERSION_PATTERN = re.compile(rf"version\s+{_LLVM_VERSION}\.\d+\.\d+\S*\s+")
