Right now we can not easily set a compile and a version within our configure script. #1250 did a small fix for clang-9 and clang-10 because we needed that for the CI. But it would be nice to create some parser that "respects the versions making it easier to test for multiple compiler versions" (@TheJJ ).

Regarding:

This should be just a small fix, we should probably implement something that splits compiler into compiler-name and compiler-version => if it's clang and then append the version to clang++.

And yes, the compiler-name-and-version parser would be the real fix. But, if we implement it, the version should actually be respected, since that way you may test multiple compiler versions easily.
