Gee... I guess I'm using CLANG then...
So, this messes a bit with my understanding of the relation of host and 
guest...
I always thought, that the host system decides which compiler gets used 
for cross-compiling, and not the guest (which means the source tree)
So If my default compiler is gcc on the host, everything should be 
compiled with gcc.
Given that I haven't changed anything of that, how comes that the kernel 
is compiled using clang?
Especially given that the clang version on the host will not be a very 
up-to-date version?
Or does clang get built during the make process, and then used as the 
compiler?

Anyhow, I'll try to compile with gcc, and see what happens.

Cheers,

Mat
