When running `./configure` to build GHC, and `opt` is not found, the
current output is:
> <no location info>:
> Warning: Couldn't figure out LLVM version!
> Make sure you have installed LLVM
> ghc: could not execute: opt
> failed to compile
When I first saw this, I thought that this was causing the entire compiler
build to fail. To clarify that this isn't a critical error, should it be
something more like:
> checking for llvm... no
