+      # as a missing file) — so the build dies, or 44min-hangs were really

+      # rewrite each `/imsvc` token to `-isystem` (the GNU spelling) and exec the
+      # real clang. Transparent otherwise; clang-cl (used for C) is NOT shadowed,
+      # so NEON codegen for zstd/blake3 etc. stays correct. Needed for
+      # aarch64-pc-windows-msvc; harmless for x86_64 (no clang `.S` step there).
