So it's no more 'overkill' that shell scripts used by autotools, which are
definitely slower.

Here you're comparing autotools to clang?
This discussion is starting to make me feel sick. Clang needs a driver, to
find headers, platform/os/runtime libraries and drive a linker. No more, no
less, and this certainly does not warrant additional dependencies in my
eyes. I'm think a BSD-licensed clone/improvement of autotools may have a
place as an LLVM subproject if good and useful enough (which would be
extremely hard to do), but not in Clang, period.
