I took a look at the LLVM 18 prerelease to see if these would work
with Rust for e.g. CI and other users (instead of using the
LLVM-provided apt ones, for instance), and noticed it does not bundle
`libclang.so`.

Would it be possible to include it so that we can use `bindgen` and
thus enable Rust with them?

I understand they are intended to be minimal toolchains, but if you
think it would not be an unreasonable overhead, then it would be great
to have it.

Either way, thanks for these toolchains, Nathan!

Cheers,
Miguel
