 We compile clang differently to how Mozilla does it: Mozilla has an
 elaborate setup with three stages (if needed) (see:
 https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr60/file/248ca5c585f8/build
 /build-clang/build-clang.py) while we essentially "just" do what is
 outlined on https://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html.

 We should change that and get our toolchain closer to what Mozilla
 provides.
