[cfe-dev] Control selected GCC installation / selected libstdc++ version?

[don hinton via cfe-dev]

Not sure I have the full picture yet, but if you already built clang with a
previous version of gcc, then upgraded gcc and got a new version of
libstdc++ that isn't compatible with clang, you need to tell the version of
clang you have where the find everything.

When building clang, you can use GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX, but if it's already
built, I think you need to set the environment variable CPATH.
