Again, if this happened, we'd be changing the existing install-clang-headers target to install clang's library headers instead of its resource directory headers, and adding a new install-clang-resource-headers to install the resource directory headers, so users of the existing install-clang-headers target would have to change their builds to use install-clang-resource-headers. Some ideas I can think of:

That is very convenient for bisecting, and way less bloated than a full installation.  That said, I don't have any strong feelings either way: a new target would be easier for me, but it is indeed less consistent.

Does the clang target depend on install-clang-headers?  It seems like it
should.
