I presume you mean the contents of the tarball?

Yes.

Having /usr/local/ inside the tarball was intentional because it makes it clear where the package is intended to be installed.

This can't be right. LLVM doesn't release only on Linux.

Also, add-on toolchains don't go to /usr/local, or they would overwrite the system one. If I want to untar, say, in /opt, I'd have a /opt/usr/local structure, which is confusing.

Leave the specific position of the tar-ball to the system that is being distributed at.

cheers, --renato
