Several LLVM versions have a bug in SelectionDAG that causes
miscompilations around conditional poisions. This was exposed due to
Rust 1.97.0 exercising the involved code path heavily and generating
segfaulting code, but the bug existed beforehand as well. The patch was
made to LLVM 23, but the tests have many conflicts, so this is a manual
backport. This backport was made by:
- applying the code change to `llvm/lib`
- hand-updating `test/CodeGen/Mips/cmov.ll` with the same diff as the PR
- updating the rest with `utils/update_llc_test_checks.py` from the LLVM
source tree, and verifying the diff against the one in the PR.
The last step made this a rather large and gnarly patch, but it's mostly
mechanical.

Wire flang into llvmPackages as a first-class Fortran compiler. flang
is built standalone on top of the LLVM/clang package set rather than
bundled into the llvm derivation, with passthru metadata
(`langFortran`, `isFlang`, `isClang`, `hardeningUnsupportedFlags`) so
cc-wrapper and downstream tooling can detect and adapt to it.
Driver compatibility patches backported from upstream are applied
selectively per LLVM version:
* `use-xflang-in-diagnostics` is applied to LLVM 20 and newer; it
teaches the driver to suggest `-Xflang` instead of `-Xclang` in
error messages for options only available to `flang -fc1`.
* `warn-on-fbuiltin-and-fno-builtin` and
`accept-and-ignore-some-gfortran-optimization-flags` are applied
to LLVM 20 and 21 only. LLVM 22 has equivalent behaviour merged
upstream (`warn_drv_invalid_argument_for_flang` and
`clang_ignored_gcc_optimization_f_Group` handling in
clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/Flang.cpp), so the patches are skipped
there.
Patches live under pkgs/development/compilers/llvm/21/flang/ and are
shared across versions via patches.nix. They are applied to a private
libclang variant rather than the flang source tree because standalone
flang resolves driver/option definitions through the installed libclang
package.
Two focused passthru tests are added:
* `compile-smoke` exercises basic compilation and `@response-file`
handling.
* `driver-flags` covers wrapper flag isolation
(`NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE` must not leak into flang;
`NIX_FFLAGS_COMPILE` must reach it), the backported driver
diagnostics, and regression coverage for previously hard-erroring
flags.
