I'm not able to compile libclc as a runtime within LLVM on windows anymore (since https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/185247 I think)
When using MSVC, it tries to use the MSVC compiler which will not work obviously:

CMake Error at T:/[src/github/clspv/third_party/llvm/libclc/cmake/modules/CMakeDetermineCLCCompiler.cmake:3](https://cs.corp.google.com/piper///depot/google3/src/github/clspv/third_party/llvm/libclc/cmake/modules/CMakeDetermineCLCCompiler.cmake?l=3) (message):
The CLC language requires the C compiler (CMAKE_C_COMPILER) to be Clang,
but CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID is 'MSVC'.

```
I've also tried to force using Ninja as the generator. I managed to get it working, but I need to apply a patch on `llvm/runtimes/CMakeLists.txt`: https://github.com/google/clspv/pull/1571/changes/12c4459a546f568ffa3716a8bc95bef641cf9e1b
I'm not sure whether this is really a fix or just a workaround.
