Hi Simon,

Thanks for the offer, I think it would be brilliant if we had this
publicly with emails like buildbots / green dragon.

It should be reasonably simple to setup a Clang 3.x (1? 4? we need to
make sure what works here) and GCC 4.8 with the appropriate glibc at
the time (a vanilla Ubuntu Trusty would do just fine).

I assume this is easier to do for the companies that do have MSVC
licenses, which is normally an internal process. Given the nature of
Windows environments, and the number of existing companies validating
MSVC, I think it should be fine to keep it aside.

I know even less about OSX than I do about Windows, so I'm hoping
Apple can chime in on how to best validate on their environments. But
this may be a question for llvm-dev.

cheers,
