[libcxx-dev] libcxxabi cross compile, config-ix.cmake, failed checks

[Joel Winarske via libcxx-dev]

I'm seeing a problem cross compiling libcxxabi to ARM using a tip of the
tree LLVM/Clang build.

In config-ix.cmake, I'm seeing oddness with this line:
  set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS "${CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS} -nodefaultlibs")

If enabled, it will cause all subsequent compile flag checks to fail.
Including ones known to be supported, such as -nostdinc++.

As a data point if I ignore the failed checks, and add these two lines, the
build goes through.  So -nostdinc++ clearly works.
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -nostdinc++")
set(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS} -lpthread")

If I disable the line, all the checks work as expected, but the build fails
related to undefined arm unwind references.

I'm currently on Bionic and CMake 3.12.4, and I'm invoking the build like
this:
