The Clang driver was specifically engineered to be a drop-in replacement
for GCC, so given that many Makefiles are hard-coded to use "gcc" or
"g++", I think what they are doing makes sense.
I know the story, doesn't mean I like it. I like that they're changing
to the LLVM tool chain, but not they way they're doing it. Apparently
some tests fails when DMD is compiled with Clang.
