Ironically, I use that "feature" to distinguish a Clang build from a MSVC
build (by looking at the output). Iff your going out of your way to
generate the same output as MSVC, it might be interesting to see whether
it's possible to output f.e. "clang version 8.0.0 (trunk)", as the first
line of the output (maybe a clang-cl command line option, a la "-v", might
be easier and would make that optional).

Have a nice day,
