It might make sense to split this patch: do the move and refactoring,
then add clang support.
Sure.
Though, won't this confuse some tests? A lot of cc-version tests are
expecting only gcc, yes?
There's already a chance of this happening with cc-version. Currently,
gcc-version.sh returns 0402 for clang 5.0, which probably doesn't have
the same issues as gcc 4.2 did.

While I didn't see anything new that would break on platforms that
clang can currently compile, you're correct, we should probably have a
macro that also checks for the compiler, or have separate macros for
different compilers.

I'll address these in v3.
