I'm on LLVM 16.0.2

    $ git describe
    llvmorg-16.0.2
    $ git log | head -n1
    commit 18ddebe1a1a9bde349441631365f0472e9693520

that seems to hang for me -- or at least run for an hour without 
completing, so I assume it's hung.  I'm not wed to 16.0.2, it just 
happens to be the last time I bumped the toolchain.  I'm moving to 
16.0.5 to see if that changes anything.
