That's disappointing.  Is there anyone working on fixing this?

I last built my world on Jan 24.  A tail of "ls -lt" in /usr/bin looks
like this:

So why are all those files still there?  If they have been deprecated or
moved, shouldn't postinstall have removed them?  What would happen if I
removed those as well as other old files in /bin, /usr/lib and /lib?  In
particular, why do I need gcc if I have converted to an LLVM system?
