We shouldn't forget that removing the creation of the link is not enough
to "remove" CC, it would also need to be added to the delete-old target
and also needs the user to run delete-old, which is a step not everyone
does ;-)

Given this even if we do remove CC I think its still prudent to keep the
fix for CC in clang as well.
