As explained previously, this should be package/inherit, and this new
clang variant should live in the same module as clang in (gnu packages
llvm).

Since it seems you strictly want to override #:configure-flags rather
than extend it, a better choice would be `ensure-keyword-arguments'.

It seems to be /include or /include/wasm32-wasi would be a "saner"
default :-).

Why is the above necessary?  A comment could help.
