To me the question is moot if the problem is llvm. I don't know if that's the case or not.

Modern tools require modern hardware. If the problem is that the target constraints don't allow modern tools to be used, the problem is the constraints and not the tools.

But maybe I just don't understand their stance here.

Depending on what you are working on / with, you may not be able to choose your constraints.

Constraints that you cannot change can certainly dictate what tools you have to choose from.
