`x install` fails because bootstrap can't copy files from the llvm-project submodule

This goes back to:
#140913

Specifically:
#140913 (comment)

The fix did not work for me due to build issues. Could this be an incomplete fix?

Quoting #140913 (comment) :

I get this error now with this fix:
/home/user/FOO_rustc_source/rust/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ci-llvm/bin/llvm-strip does not exist; skipping copy
thread 'main' panicked at src/bootstrap/src/lib.rs:1874:13:

I'm on top of the following commit:
commit bbd3a5a (HEAD -> master, origin/try-perf, origin/try, origin/perf-tmp, origin/master, origin/auto, origin/HEAD)

So, it includes this fix:

Can you please share your bootstrap.toml and/or ./configure/./x invocation? Are you using a custom/external LLVM?

There was no bootstrap.toml. There was only bootstrap.example.toml that came with the repo by default when you clone it. I used export DESTDIR=<custom user path> && ./x.py build && ./x.py install

Are you using a custom/external LLVM?

No

@onur-ozkan Could you please comment? Thanks!

Seems like LLVM submodule isn't initialized. I will check that shortly.

Yeah, that was the problem. #141568 should fix this.
