or more specifically for llvm:

that "platform/" versus "toolchain/" is meaningful. if there's a
"platform/" it's the kind of build you're used to. if there's a
"toolchain/", it's a prebuilt input to the build. (toybox is weird because
it's used in both. there's a shell script in prebuilts/build-tools/ to take
a new prebuilt to bridge that gap.)

(similar instructions for LLVM itself [which is a *prebuilt* input to the
NDK build] are currently only internal afaik, but we are working on tidying
up the internal docs and making them public.)

yeah, there's a plan there too, but not much to show for it yet:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/musl/+/refs/heads/master

(for anyone reading this long after, and seeing actual content there, note
that at the time of posting the link led to a page saying "Initial empty
repository" :-) )
