If CC_COMPAT is ever specified on the command line as clang (maybe by
some unsuspecting user), we'd loose all of the above flags. Maybe it
would be better to build a set of COMPAT_CLANG_FLAGS and append them to
CC_COMPAT, maybe like below?

Regardless, the current approach works in my testing with clang 9.0.1
and master (clang 11.0.0). This patch specifically is:
