JJB,

no, there are many different paths which apply for different compilers used in 
the past. Note that the line you are referring to is a -change command so it 
only applies if that entry is present in the binary, so it will only affect 
clang4, not the currently used compilers. The current compilers use ${TC_BASE} 
which is derived form the toolchains file:
https://svn.r-project.org/R-dev-web/trunk/QA/Simon/R-build/toolchains

Cheers,
Simon
