I don't know much about the finer points of cygports, but I'll comment on
a couple of things

That sucks, and should really be fixed to only have one case of that
directory.

Huh.  The gtest stuff is vendored in the third-party tar, and is built and
installed as libllvm-gtest*.a.  I didn't personally try to run the tests
for llvm itself, but the tests for clang and lld (in playground repo lld
branch) ran fine.  I don't know if any of the subsequent shuffling of test
options since my last commit changed anything there though, I haven't
tried since my last commit.
