If this area is in that much flux, I see no problem in us both not
enabling this by default, which is the case right now, and go on moving
the minimum required version for LLVM/clang, hopefully at some point
this will get stable and widely available (as in what distros ship),
when we then switch to doing the feature detection automatically.

I see you already submitted the patch to do this test, thanks, will
check and continue processing your series.
