[llvm-libgcc] Fix libgcc.a symlink path when LLVM_ENABLE_PER_TARGET_RUNTIME_DIR=OFF

The llvm-libgcc installation was creating incorrect symlinks for libgcc.a
when built with LLVM_ENABLE_PER_TARGET_RUNTIME_DIR=OFF, particularly seen with
Yocto cross-compilation environments.

Issues seen:

-  Absolute path in symlink: The previous code didn't handle absolute paths
   returned by get_compiler_rt_install_dir() in staging/sysroot environments,
   resulting in symlinks like:
   libgcc.a -> /absolute/path/to/sysroot/usr/lib/clang/.../libclang_rt.builtins.a

-  Missing architecture suffix: When the install path contained "clang", the
   code would skip setting builtins_suffix, creating:
   libgcc.a -> clang/21.1.4/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins.a
   instead of:
   libgcc.a -> clang/21.1.4/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins-aarch64.a

-  Incorrect relative path calculation: The original regex stripped too much
   or too little of the path, either creating symlinks pointing to non-existent
   locations or stripping the clang/ directory prefix entirely.

Solution:

- Extract the relative path starting from 'clang/' when present in absolute
  paths, ensuring the symlink points to the correct location within the
  installation hierarchy
- Always append the architecture suffix to the builtins library name
- Only prepend '../' to the path when LLVM_ENABLE_PER_TARGET_RUNTIME_DIR is
  enabled, as this is when the builtins are in a different directory level

The symlink now correctly points to the existing compiler-rt builtins library
without creating duplicate copies.

Tested with LLVM_ENABLE_PER_TARGET_RUNTIME_DIR=OFF in cross-compilation
environments (aarch64 target).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
