As you may have noticed, over the past year, I've added support to base to better handle cases where the DevSDK (the part of the Command Line Tools package that installs /usr/include) is not installed. Thus, executing clang-mp-5.0 (without this change) fails unless you either specify -isysroot on the command line or use xcrun. If you do not specify an SDK to xcrun, it will determine an implied SDK (the DevSDK if present, or the "real" macOS SDK if not) and set the SDKROOT environment variable to that path. If -isysroot is not passed to clang and the SDKROOT environment variable is set, clang uses that value. This allows our clang ports to "just work" for users that install them without installing the DevSDK. Removing proxying through xcrun has nothing to do with making it possible to use other compilers.
