Hmmm, this is the second patch to decode_stacktrace.sh in the same
number of weeks...

https://lore.kernel.org/20231215-llvm-decode-stacktrace-v1-1-201cb86f4879@quicinc.com/

Nick pointed out on that one that Carlos's patch from some time ago was
even better at using all LLVM tools and requested testing/review on that
one.

https://lore.kernel.org/20230929034836.403735-1-cmllamas@google.com/

Furthermore, this patch does not handle the LLVM=<prefix>/bin/ syntax
that we support, which I personally use all the time.

Cheers,
Nathan
