I recommend opening a bug report for clang, best with an already preprocessed

We're going to need to do something about this from our side as well, I
suspect. The times aren't great with gcc either, even if not as bad as with
clang.
Agreed. While not a full solution, I think this patch is still good to
address some of the pain: Waiting 10 seconds at the end of my build
with only 1 of my 10 cores doing anything.
So while this doesn't decrease CPU time spent it does decrease
wall-clock time significantly in some cases, with afaict no downsides.
I have tested this with various compilers, and I can confirm that this
shaves off about 5 seconds from the build wall-clock time, which
represents about 10%-20% of the total time. I think this is a good patch.
Interestingly, if I apply the analogous changes to the makefiles, I
don't get any significant improvements. (Depends on local
circumstances, of course.) But I would still suggest to keep the
makefiles aligned.
