rS344213: Merge clang 7.0.1 and several follow-up changes
rS318594: Add libc++experimental.a for std::experimental support

Summary

Follow-up to D10839, add a separate libc++experimental.a for supporting
std::experimental features. This library is purposefully static, and
must be explicitly linked into programs using -lc++experimental.

NOTE: there is NO WARRANTY as to any stability or continuing existence of the features in the experimental C++ library!

dim mentioned this in D10839: Make std::experimental::filesystem work..May 21 2017, 11:59 AM

Would it make sense to let this new library be responsible for installing the experimental/ headers as well?

Maybe, but it also adds complexity for no good reason. There is also experimental/ functionality which is header-only, and therefore does not need any runtime support.

Upstream installs all of these from one Makefile, which I would also like to do, but it isn't possible with bsd.lib.mk, unfortunately.
