Hi Nick,

Yes, it should be this config. Borislav looked at the crash in the
first email in the thread and that's the config provided there. If
syzbot provides a crash and a config, these always match.

And the exact compiler used to produce the build is this:
compiler: clang version 10.0.0
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/
c2443155a0fb245c8f17f2c1c72b6ea391e86e81)
