This clause is abstracting away a ton of work. If you want to compile the latest LLVM and get 'portable C++26', you need to bootstrap everything, including CMake from that old-hat libc on some ancient distro like CentOS 6 or Ubuntu 12.04.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: the Linux kernel may maintain ABI compatibility, but the fact that GNU libc breaks it anyway makes it a moot point. It is a pain to target older Linux with a newer distro, which is by far the most common development use case.
