node 8.6 assumes llvm on FreeBSDΒ #16257

Description

@chmeeedalf

When building node 8.6 for PowerPC (uses gcc, not clang), I see the following error:

gyp: name 'llvm_version' is not defined while evaluating condition 'llvm_version
< "4.0"' in /wrkdirs/usr/ports/www/node/work/node-v8.6.0/node.gyp while trying
to load /wrkdirs/usr/ports/www/node/work/node-v8.6.0/node.gyp
creating ./icu_config.gypi

This appears to have been introduced by Pull Request #14077 .

    Sorry for commenting on such an old thread, but just to clarify I would mention that the solution for FreeBSD is using Node version at least 8.9.4
