About this clang-path: in my environment the name of clang is x86_64-oe-linux-clang, and installed in /usr/bin/llvm-3.7, neither in $PATH nor has its default name. This is the default setting of yocto and open-embedded based systems. Please see do_install part in building script of it:

https://github.com/openembedded/meta-oe/blob/master/meta-oe/recipes-core/llvm/llvm.inc

Therefore, I think something like this option should not be dropped, or people like me have to do some nasty work to make it useable. Could you please rethink it?

Thank you.
