Build artifacts end up in the `./target-llvm/gnu/target-final/` directory by default.
The `gnu` directory depends on the supported archticture and will either be `gnu`, `musl` or `emscripten`.
You now need to export the final target directory `$LLVM_SYS_181_PREFIX`: `export LLVM_SYS_181_PREFIX=${PWD}/target-llvm/gnu/target-final`
