I shouldn't answer before I had my first coffee,
The linux-x86-64-clang target exists, just not the
linux-x86-64-clang-debug target.

Another thought:

Leave the -debug target in, but don't advertize it, e.g., comment out
the @echo "linux-x86-clang-debug ... line.

We don't want to make it easier for users to create builds that perform
poorly.
May be we can even add other debug build targets without listing them.

PS: I hope this idea is better, even though I still didn't have my coffee.
