Indeed, I missed this obvious aspect when reviewing the package.

Having support for using llvm/clang/lld as a toolchain replacement was
discussed, and it was on Valentin's radar. It would definitely be
interesting to see some progress in this area, even though I believe it
will be tricky as I'm sure a large number of packages will not build
nicely with clang, the Linux kernel being an important package falling
into this category.
Best regards,
Thomas
