Could I get some reviews on this please?

Thanks.

Currently, the BaseTools Makefiles use BUILD_CC and BUILD_CXX, which
doesn't allow users to override the compiler to use in the expected way
by running e.g. "make CC=clang-17 CXX=clang++-17". clang/llvm support
was added in https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2842 in a
way that required users to run "make CXX=llvm" and have clang and clang++
executables under $(CLANG_BIN). As far as I know this isn't a standard
way of telling a build system to use clang, and so is likely difficult
to discover by users.

This patch series fixes that, and as a side effect allows the clang
analyzer to run via "scan-build make".

Since clang 17 defaults to C++17 or newer where the 'register' keyword
is deprecated and the warning turned into an error, override the
version used when building C++ code via "-std=c++14".

   BaseTools: Allow users to specify compiler to use with make CC= CXX=
   BaseTools: Improve detection of users wanting to build using clang
   BaseTools: Build against C++14 when building with clang
