Because "LLVM/Clang is always a cross compiler".
A cross compiler is a compiler that compiles for a target
architecture/OS different than that of the host on which it is
running.
Therefore, LLVM/Clang always compiles for a target architecture/OS
different than that of the host on which it is running.
