Yes, this is for cross-compiling clang+llvm for Linux on Darwin -- and possibly Windows to Linux, but that hasn't been tested -- or Linux to Linux if you have completely different system files. It enforces using --sysroot to find the targets headers and libraries. Cache files are preferred since they are only loaded once, but toolchain files are more flexible -- particularly when setting -target and --sysroot. Users shouldn't care if the cache file reloads itself as a toolchain file, and keeping everything is one file makes it easier to understand. This version doesn't include arch-specific builtins and runtimes, but that could easily be added. Also, I'm happy to rename it if that would help.
