6.6 came and went, and I have been busy dealing with the other
responsibilities I mentioned and have not had a chance to look here.
I rebased this today and things still work as they did when I submitted
this version, but things have gotten muddier on the LLVM side of things,
as more recent versions have added yet more extension support.

My inclination at this point is to engage in a bit of LARPing as an
ostrich, and sorta ignore these concerns initially. Specifically, I'd
like to drop the idea of having the gcc support, and restrict to LLVM=1.
When it comes to asymmetrical extension support between the C and Rust
toolchains, I'm think we deal with that as we do for the C toolchains,
sort issues out as-and-when they arrive rather than punt this again.

Thoughts?
