Build failure on main branch.

Seems a C++ problem:

    [test] Change llc -march=aarch64|arm64 to -mtriple=aarch64|arm64

    Similar to commit 806761a7629df268c8aed49657aeccffa6bca449 to avoid issues due
    to object file format differences. These tests are currently benign.

Fixed by PR #667.

@etiotto You need to apply the patches under build_tools/patches from imex in your llvm project and rebuild llvm and imex
