Description
Currently the only way to get libc++ is to install the entire llvm package. To make libc++ tenable to install in CI systems quickly we should add a new llvm subpackage to package libc++.
A followup after this is done:
- Change tippecanoe package (which is statically linking libc++) to just use the
clang++andlibc++packages (and not the entirellvmpackage), so save on download bandwidth.
Similar to #561

Research direction
Start by inspecting how the existing llvm package is defined and compare the approach with issue #561. Define a separate libc++ package that can be installed without the full llvm package, then verify that the package is suitable for CI and supports the planned tippecanoe follow-up using clang++ and libc++.
