compiler flags. Changing these flags should be used as a last
recourse if other workarounds are not available.
### Toolchain selection
The default toolchain uses GCC, and the `%toolchain` macro is defined
as `gcc`.
It is enough to override `toolchain` macro and all relevant macro for C/C++
compilers will be switched. Either in the spec or in the command-line.
%global toolchain clang
or:
rpmbuild -D "toolchain clang" …
Inside a spec file it is also possible to determine which toolchain is in use
by testing the same macro. For example:
%if "%{toolchain}" == "gcc"
BuildRequires: gcc
%endif
or:
%if "%{toolchain}" == "clang"
BuildRequires: clang compiler-rt
%endif
