[cfe-dev] RFC: Clang driver redesign

[James Molloy]

Actually I'm not referring explicitly to Linux - the use case that springs
most to mind is our own, which is cross-compiling for baremetal ARM targets.

I have to use -ccc-host-triple arm-freebsd-eabi because otherwise the driver
attempts to autoconfigure from the host GCC (freebsd uses as and ld directly
and happens (!!) to default to looking in the current directory first).

I resent this. I am using it for cross-compilation all the time and it
is trivial to use for me. Let's at least call the child by name: Linux
support is a mess and needs to improve. Pretty much all other platforms
shouldn't be negatively effected by that.
