Please make LLVM binary names configurable
While the name of the GCC binary, for example, is configurable in settings, this is not true for the LLVM binaries (llc and opt); these are hard-coded in source:/compiler/main/SysTools.lhs
This is required, e.g., for Debian where "opt" might be any llvm version and only "opt-3.0" would work. Ideally, we can set the name with ./configure and it would apply both for the build of ghc and the final ghc binary.
