> both clang and GCC are viable bases from which you make your internal tooling. License is not the only factor determining usability of a compiler wrt interfacing with external tools. GCC was deliberately designed to prevent such usage. See ▶ this video at 2:22 for a direct quote from RMS on this topic.
