I think I figured out the problem, more context from irc

```
<andrewrk> I think if you run `llvm-config --system-libs` or something like that it might spit out all the missing libs
<andrewrk> for me it prints `-lz -lrt -ldl -lpthread -lm` for your config it will probably include -lxml
<andrewrk> anyway point being that dependency comes from LLVM so it's kind of a question for the llvm project how to properly link in their dependency
andrewrk> it sounds like a packaging mishap if `llvm-config --system-libs` doesn't resolve this for you
```

So it seems that `llvm-config --system-libs` should spit out linker flags for any dependencies it needs when linking, but as it stands it just prints a blank line. This is what the cmake uses for cross dependencies. This would make me think the problem is somewhere in the `llvm10` template.

For now, manually adding the packages/linker flags appears to work. There's also a weird problem where `ld` ignores the extra flags unless `-Wl,--no-as-needed` is set.
