I'm not asking for more weight (and actually my main
reason for caring about clang is exactly MacOSX). I'm
just asking that when a bug is reported whose underlying
cause is "we don't work on clang because we're relying on
undocumented behaviour of gcc" with an attached patch that
fixes this by not relying on the undocumented behaviour,
that we apply the patch rather than saying "why do we
care about clang"...

This seems to me to be a win-win situation:
 * we improve our code by not relying on undocumented
   implentation specifics
 * we work on a platform that, while not a primary
   platform, is at least supported in the codebase and
   has people who fix it when it breaks
