In ChromeOS and Gentoo we catch any unwanted mixed Clang/LLVM and GCC/binutils usage via toolchain wrappers which fail builds. This has revealed that GCC is called unconditionally in Clang configured builds to populate GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR. Allow the user to override CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS to avoid the GCC call - in our case we set the var directly in the ebuild recipe. In theory Clang could be able to autodetect these settings so this logic could be removed entirely, but in practice as the commit cebdb7374577 ("tools: Help cross-building with clang") mentions, this does not always work, so giving distributions more control to specify their flags & sysroot is beneficial.

As I understand it from [0] and given we're late in the cycle, this is targeted for bpf-next not bpf, right?

Yes, let's target this for bpf-next. The issue was introduced in the 5.17 cycle but indeed it's late. I can do a stable backport to 5.17 after it releases.

Thanks,
Adrian

Thanks,
Daniel
