For Clang versions > 11.0.0, the format of the website to acquire the tarball download links has changed. This means the parser implemented in build_clang.sh will fail to download the specific Clang version > 11.0.0.
Since all versions seem to be available on Github now, the parser in build_clang.sh could be rewritten to always use the Github links, even in cases < 11.0.0.

For Clang versions > 11.0.0, the format of the website to acquire the tarball download links has changed. This means the parser implemented in
build_clang.shwill fail to download the specific Clang version > 11.0.0.See https://releases.llvm.org/download.html.
For versions > 11.0.0 the links are now obtained from a release page on Github (for example: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/tag/llvmorg-12.0.1).
Since all versions seem to be available on Github now, the parser in
build_clang.shcould be rewritten to always use the Github links, even in cases < 11.0.0.~I can provide a PR if desired.~ PR submitted.
