Description

Extracting some basic information (version, target, header search paths) from emcc is significantly slower compared to vanilla Clang. Compare:

$ time { clang++ --version; clang++ -dumpmachine; clang++ -v -x c++ -E - </dev/null; }
real    0m0.029s

$ time { emcc --version; emcc -dumpmachine; emcc -v -x c++ -E - </dev/null; }
real    0m0.266s

Some build systems (e.g., build2) extract this information on the fly (in order to implement high-fidelity change detection) and the slowdown is noticeable. I wonder if anything can done about this?
