Are there any upstreams that specify a preference for Clang in general?

Usually it's a specific binary build of Clang, or maybe a source build
with certain patches applied (and that is downloaded and built the first
time the project is built, as some sort of bootstrapping step).

So it's not so much “use Clang”, but “use our compiler, not the system
compiler”.

Thanks,
