--- Comment #53 from Ron Olson <tachoknight@xxxxxxxxx> ---
I asked over on the Swift Forums
(https://forums.swift.org/t/building-swift-toolchain-using-gcc/13686/9) and the
two member of the core team that I've chatted with indicate that the
system-provided clang is sufficient to compile user-created Swift code; the
version of clang that is built as part of the toolchain is only for building
the Swift binary itself and is unnecessary for user code.

As far as compiling with gcc, I was surprised/worried that getting the entire
Swift toolchain to build with gcc is not something that has been done before
and is not supported at all in the codebase. As much as I have been working on
it, I think I've hit a wall with clang-specific function calls that are invoked
as part of the build. 

I believe using the system clang to build Swift and be a dependency of the
Swift package provides the best experience with the fewest unknowns.
