That's my understanding, too, that clang is not yet ready for cross-
compilation. And that's why I did not plan its inclusion for now.

Good to read. But then, how do you cope with sysroot?

In crosstool-NG terminology, a native toolchain is one that targets
the current system. It means that:
  - it targets the same architecture
  - it targets the same ABI
  - it targets the same kernel-system (eg. the same C library)

Also, crosstool-NG currently has no support for the 'native' toolchain
case, and even explicitly aborts if you select 'native' in the menuconfig.
Did you patch crosstool-NG to allow the 'native' case?

Not from my part, except for keeping an eye on clang status from time to
time.
