The current default for an in-tree build is to build compiler-rt with 
whatever compiler is being used to build Clang... sometimes that 
compiler is GCC.

I agree though. We should always use the just-built Clang, and have that 
behavior be opt-out (if folks need it), instead of opt-in as it is now.
