No, but there is no explanation how to make it work either.  I assume
that something like "make PLATFORM=macosx CC=clang" would be the Right
Thing, but it would be better to say so.  (Come to think of it, *is*
that enough to make csc invoke clang?)

In that case, entries for clang and gcc-llvm should be added there
by the relevant someones.
