Alice: when I apply this, I will need to add your Signed-off-by here
(i.e. when handling patches from others, you need to add your SoB
too).

I guess if we don't find "LLVM" in the output, something weird is
going on, so I guess it is reasonable not printing either here.
Although, in principle, we could preserve information and print at
least the `$rustc` one.

Anyway, we may need to rethink this when we start supporting e.g. the
GCC backend, so I think it is fine as it is.

Thanks!
