Yes, but unfortunately I already knew how it worked. It's not flags I am worried about, it is extensions.
Even using a libclang that doesn't match clang could be a problem, but we can at least declare that unsupported.
Not digging it out on an airport bus, but we discussed the lack of GCC support on the original patch adding riscv, and decided against it.
