Comment (by jberryman):

 Hi, this seems to have regressed. Should I open a new ticket? I'd like for
 ghc to look for versioned llvm executables in the PATH and prefer those
 over the unversioned names (if they exist).

 If #10074 is stalled this change seems sufficient to me. As it stands
 using multiple ghc versions with fllvm side by side is pretty inconvenient
 (or else I haven't figured out the trick).
