Pointer ? Anyway, that is too me the only right way to go.
BTW, are you part of upstream ?

FYI, to build clang, you need also the llvm sources.
Anyway, I am not sure how this would help you. You would have your own
instance of clang with your patches ?

That probably won't happen. It is touching critical files, I don't want
to carry patches (especially since clang code is changing a lot) and I
don't want Debian clang
to be different from upstream.

Why not.
