The driver program would need to know to use a different sys root (or we’d need to install things in the clang centric way) as well as which architecture to use, which it might be able to guess based on the binary used to invoke it (now that’s a feature that has a checkered past, some good, some down right awful). I’ve been after the clang folks to justify bringing in everything on every platform by providing an example cross build in the base, but so far nothing has materialized...
