The plan is fine, but if there is time left I'd like to focus on using
clang as main compiler for prefix and use musl as prefix libc.
The rationale for the first is to push a bit the boundary the second is
because musl had been touted as a good match as side-libc for android
since it is really compact yet posix functional.
