 If it where just for old 32 bit builds I would agree. However, to be
 honest, I am much more interested in making the changes I suggested to
 cctools to simplify life downstream, such as removing the tom foolery
 needed in the gcc ports just to make sure the clang version cctools needs
 is available. Changing to a more predictable scheme that dos not depend on
 the llvm variant that happens to have been used will make things much
 easier.
