Earlier custom compiler path export

[hellsgod]

Hi.

I'm currently using clang 20 to compile the kernel and I'm playing around with some build flags. I set my custom compiler path to it, since I don't use clang 20 as system wide. When I try to use some flags, which are only available in clang 20, I can't build the kernel, since in the prepare phase the script is using the system wide compiler, which is clang 19.1.7 and I can't build with flags, which are only for clang 20. Is there a way to export the custom compiler path earlier? Right now clang 20 gets used in the build phase, but that seems to be too late.

Thank you

Why you just dont export the PATH to the directory of the clang installation?

I've tried that. Didn't work out

Why did you close the issue, did you find a workaround?

An ugly one, but it worked: hellsgod@7717ade
