Comment (by jmroot):
I can understand the clang dependency on 10.6 and older because without it
gcc has no reasonable assembler to use. On newer OS versions it's less
necessary but may still be needed to allow using certain newer
instructions. And yes, you are correct that there's no real guarantee that
gcc is depending on the clang version that cctools will try to use. Maybe
we need clang variants for gcc (argh) with the default changing based on
the installed cctools variant? Or maybe the solution is to only offer one
configuration of cctools on each OS version.
