Correct.

clang is there and built for ARM already. It works since mesa needs it
to build.

However, it's not fully independent build - it uses libgcc, etc. We
have not seen yet the need to build "self hosting" clang. However, this
is an interesting option, and we would appreciate if someone does it.

We are planning to take a look at it at some point too. We might be also
considering switching to clang as main toolchain later when it has
matured a little bit more still.
