Thanks - this is exactly the bit I wasn't sure about. The reason I came
to the hackers list is because I thought this wasn't the case. Normally
I don't delete arbitrary files after building postgres, and expect
postgres to continue working :)  Very happy to learn it works this way!

Also thanks to Christoph Moench-Tegeder who pointed out in the other
email that the PGDG rpm packagers already split LLVM out to a separate
package, so it's already been done over there.
