In ChromeOS and Gentoo we catch any unwanted mixed Clang/LLVM
and GCC/binutils usage via toolchain wrappers which fail builds.
This has revealed that GCC is called unconditionally in Clang
configured builds to populate GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR.
Allow the user to override CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS to avoid the GCC
call - in our case we set the var directly in the ebuild recipe.
In theory Clang could be able to autodetect these settings so
this logic could be removed entirely, but in practice as the
commit cebdb73745 ("tools: Help cross-building with clang")
mentions, this does not always work, so giving distributions
more control to specify their flags & sysroot is beneficial.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
