At least for GCC based toolchains the convention is for vendors to
modify the version number of the compiler to indicate that they've added
stuff - for example, on my desktop right now GCC reports that it is "gcc
(Debian 8.2.0-6) 8.2.0", the Linaro toolchains do the same as do other
binary toolchains I've looked at in the past.  That's probably enough I
think?

Sadly the clang-7 packages for Debian don't seem to have anything like
that but my locally built copies of clang-8 have the git hash and repo
URL for everything in the build.
