Thanks! From what I read briefly, I understand clang is recommended upstream and therefore was set as a default flag. However, a rust Vs rust-bin version clash can occur and since FF patched their code to work with gcc, setting clang as the default compiler is no longer considered necessary - at least this is the present status.
On my system, clang is explicitly disabled. This was thanks to Firefox and Thunderbird repeatedly failing to compile, which is apparently a problem with clang and older CPUs.
