FWICS it's only used to dump bitcode sections in Mach-O files, so not a killer feature. Given that app-arch/xar is dead and buggy, I would rather not add a USE flag for it if it's going to disappear soon enough.

    sys-devel/llvm: Fix implicit dependency on app-arch/libxar
    
    Support conditionally using app-arch/libxar in LLVM 6+, and explicitly
    force it off in LLVM 5. This library is used only to dump LLVM bitcode
    in Mach-O files and it's very rare, so we can safely presume that nobody
    really used it and it's not worth rebuild due to revbumping LLVM 5.
    
    Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/645038
