My understand is we get to decide. I am happy to see if adding this to 
the rtems_waf support can work and so it becomes a configuration 
parameter for libbsd to rtems_waf. If RTEMS supports clang in the future 
then rtems_waf can be taught to handle that case as well.

I am updating my tools on Windows to build and test the change.
