That's a bit odd, given llvm and clang really live in the same repo...

I think I can get actually rid of that entirely.

Yea, I'd hoped we could avoid duplicating all the configure tests, but
maybe not :(.

Yep. Removed the second superflous / redundant typedef.  Will push a
heavily rebased version in a bit, will include fix for this.
