I doubt anyone ever tests this combo though.

Is used for fuzzing builds, so I assume actively tested outside our 
integration.

It is? I often use this when building qtwebengine for Windows. Been advocating 
for an automated test for a while.

You mean clang? Clang-cl.exe is the MSVC compatible clang version, and 
clang.exe the "gcc" (crossplatform clang) compatible. Which I assume also 
means thereis clang.exe with libstdc++ for mingw compatible builds.
