Thanks for mentioning it. I have considered that option. To do that
both clang and the kernel need patching and I have no idea how well
they work. For now I prefer the lazy route: just use gcc to compile
the kernel.

BTW, I've met with some packages that simply won't be built by clang
due to its lack of support for some GNU extensions, so I'm really not
sure if it's wise to not ship gcc at all...
