I have already been told previously that the mingw(-64)/gcc toolchain 
used to build clang is independent of the mingw(-64)/gcc toolchain used 
as the RTL when clang itself is used to compile/link. Your link implies 
that I have to build clang using a 64-bit version of mingw-64/gcc in 
order to compile/link 64-bit code using clang. Is that true ?

What are the "build bots" and how do I "look" at them ?
