Descrição
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
The Mac build uses an older LLVM version (15) than Linux (18). This seems to be related to the CI code and the fact that the mac github runners have llvm installed via brew
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/releases/macos-14-arm64/20250915/images/macos/macos-14-arm64-Readme.md
Even newer runners only have LLVM 17.
The discrepancy could lead to hard to find bugs or performance issues.
Is it possible to use vcpkg for the mac builds? That way we could be assured that they are always consistent across platforms.
A few related changes I found:
Unpin the llvm version in arrow/cpp/Brewfile. I think this might mean that theoretically the latest llvm could be installed but since the runner image already has an older one installed, that is used instead.

Direção de pesquisa
Localize as definições de CI de jar-build para macOS e Linux e compare como o LLVM é selecionado; depois, inspecione arrow/cpp/Brewfile e os detalhes da imagem do runner vinculada. O trabalho estará concluído quando os builds usarem uma versão consistente do LLVM ou houver uma diferença de versão entre as plataformas explicitamente documentada e justificada.
