Oh, I forgot! Good idea, will add a check to compiler-clang.h.

No. That's going to be a complicated mess with frequent churn.

Ditto. (no)

binutils version checks aren't enforced like the compiler version is,
so for now I'll stick to just checking the compiler version. That
dodges the combinatorial explosion with regards to support you're
referring to. Otherwise we're talking about a complicated
multidimensional table that we don't have CI coverage of.
