There are no gcc/libgcc licensing concerns for software hosted on GLIBC (LGPLv3) with libgcc. There already does exist a functional implementation for this OS. There is no need to treat it as an issue on the Clang/LLVM side (maybe except ambitions).

Yes. That intention is there and they've been receptive of patches.

This is irrelevant.

That's fine, it's just not the state of the world and we should support compiling appropriately.
