We can and should have both Clang and GCC builds running in automation,
even if one of them is tier 2. We kinda/sorta have this with ASAN builds,
which are Clang. We don't necessary need tests to run - just a smoke test
of the build.

We should also consider having automation building against Clang and GCC
VCS tips periodically so we are informed about future version compatibility
and can report regressions upstream. It turns out compiling Firefox is a
pretty good test suite!
