I'm not quite sure whether we should go down this road ... if we wanted to 
have full test coverage for clang, we'd need to duplicate *all* jobs to run 
them once with gcc and once with clang. And that would be just overkill.

I think we already catch most clang-related problems with the clang jobs 
that we already have in our CI, so problems like the ones that you've tried 
to address here should be very, very rare. So I'd rather vote for not 
splitting the job here.
