compiling on mac is very easy/fluent experience for me. I guess OSX is still kinda first-class citizen for LLVM so maybe it does not count?

macOS LLVM is a bit of a special distribution. It's nice that there's a mostly well built LLVM distribution there, but the pain in the ass is that they ship a custom linker and _don't ship lld_, which means you can't readily use their distribution for a lot of common cross build targets - you need to go build at least an lld to get over the line.
