Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something. My primary point is that we need a way 
to run configure which C and C++ compiler is used to compile the tests in LLDB 
testsuite. As long as this is still possible, I'm happy.

We discussed previously that we might want to separate tests that exercise 
different compilers from tests that exercise core functionality of LLDB and 
perhaps the `lit/` vs. the `packages/` subdirectories is where we want to draw 
this line, and only keep the configurability of the compiler for the tests in 
the `packages/` directory. But it isn't clear to me that that is where this is 
going either.
