But why would you want to do that? I'm guessing you're trying to do
some Clang[1] thing, but it's not clear to me how it benefits vkd3d.


[1] For the record, the recommended way to build vkd3d on macOS is to
use our Conservancy[2] sister project Homebrew[3] to install
mingw-w64, gcc, pkg-config, etc., and then pass appropriate CC etc.
arguments to configure. I suppose it would be helpful to explicitly
describe building for non-Linux platforms on the wiki, but we haven't
traditionally had a lot of demand from users building things
themselves on those platforms.
