Description

See

https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/pull/24160#issuecomment-4846400577

By leaving compiler-rt on older versions, we risk breakage like with fcoverage. So if we want to support those features, it seems we don't have a choice but to update compiler-rt to tip of tree constantly.

Is that a lot of work, though?
