Thank you for the patch.

In my case, it was dealt with by rewriting make.conf.

FETCH_DEPENDS+= llvm-config17:devel/llvm17
CC=     /usr/local/llvm17/bin/clang
CXX=    /usr/local/llvm17/bin/clang++
CPP=    /usr/local/llvm17/bin/clang-cpp

FETCH_DEPENDS is useful for adding dependencies that are missing in poudriere.
However, it seems that it is better not to rewrite CC,CXX here with ports that use USES=compiler.
It seems that FETCH_DEPENDS installation will not be ready in time for Mk/Uses/compiler.mk to be used.

This is a workaround that is nothing more than an extra effort, so it doesn't matter :)

Regards.
