LLVM 16 is apparently released, because Fedora has started using
it in their rawhide (development) branch, which means Postgres
is failing to build there [1][2]:

../../../../src/include/jit/llvmjit_emit.h: In function 'l_load_gep1':
../../../../src/include/jit/llvmjit_emit.h:123:30: warning: implicit declaration of function 'LLVMBuildGEP'; did you mean 'LLVMBuildGEP2'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
123 | LLVMValueRef v_ptr = LLVMBuildGEP(b, v, &idx, 1, "");
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
| LLVMBuildGEP2
... etc etc etc ...
leading to lots of
+ERROR: could not load library "/builddir/build/BUILD/postgresql-15.1/tmp_install/usr/lib64/pgsql/llvmjit.so": /builddir/build/BUILD/postgresql-15.1/tmp_install/usr/lib64/pgsql/llvmjit.so: undefined symbol: LLVMBuildGEP

I know we've been letting this topic slide, but we are out of runway.
I propose adding this as a must-fix open item for PG 16.
