Hi Pedro, Your suggestion is interesting. We will try to enhance the clang Linux build and remove the libgcc dependency in the future.
This patch change is for a project of Google Summer of Code 2021, which is to build BaseTools with clang + gnu make in windows. We hope to focus the windows part only in this project. The project’s code check-in deadline is August 24th. We plan to only check-in to edk2-staging right now because of edk2-stable202108 release code freezing. Yuqi will send out another version code review soon.

It would eliminate the dependency on the system's libgcc, crtbegin/end.o and crti/o.o, for most systems. I don't know exactly how the build system works but I assume there's some way to force a compiler flag.

Please see the dependency description here: “When you install Visual C++, Visual Studio setup installs the subset of the Windows 10 SDK required to use the UCRT.” https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/crt-library-features?view=msvc-160. If the MSVC is not installed, the ucrt will complain cannot find the msvc header files.

BTW, the compiler dependency requirement also exists in Linux side. Below is the Linux GCC CRT library example. Although I build with clang, it still needs link the crt libraries in GCC installation.
