 Another way to specify a configuration file is to encode it in executable name.
 For example, if the Clang executable is named `armv7l-clang` (it may be a
 symbolic link to `clang`), then Clang will search for file `armv7l.cfg` in the

 If a driver mode is specified in invocation, Clang tries to find a file specific
 for the specified mode. For example, if the executable file is named
 `x86_64-clang-cl`, Clang first looks for `x86_64-cl.cfg` and if it is not found,

 If the command line contains options that effectively change target architecture
 (these are -m32, -EL, and some others) and the configuration file starts with an
