libcxx is not ABI-compatible with libstdc++ and is a common cause of confusion. We should make sure 'libcxx' or similar is in the name for all such profiles.

    downloads: add warning for LLVM stages
    
    The "LLVM stages" right now are really "pure LLVM" stages which means
    they're not ABI compatible with the regular ones (which use libstdc++
    rather than libc++/libcxx) and you cannot use GCC as a fallback
    if something fails to build.
    
    This can be reworked if/when we have libstdc++-based LLVM stages (see
    bug #944482 and the related bug #944478).
