FWIW libbcc so many BPF users also use clang, so this has more impact
than just testing to build linux with clang (not that this would be any
reason to delay fixing either way)

I would tend to agree havin a compiler-common + make clang/intel not
include compiler-gcc would probably be best in the long run but we might
want a quick fix for 4.19 meanwhile..
