Well, upstream has a split between "projects" and "runtimes",
and I think it makes sense to follow that.  "compiler-rt" and "libc"
happen to be listed in both, but I suppose it's more of a historical
thing -- I think you're always supposed to be doing the runtimes build
for projects that support it these days.

Right now, we don't package libc, pstl, llvm-libgcc -- so there are
definitely more potential packages to be added.

I suspect that this split will also help with crossdev.  FWIU we only
need to cover runtimes there, since the toolchain itself is cross-
capable by design.
