 = Clang (GCC frontend)
 
 The `clang-linux` module supports Clang with GCC frontend and has the same
-options as link:#b2.reference.tools.compiler.gcc[`gcc`] toolset.
+options as link:#b2.reference.tools.compiler.gcc[`gcc`] toolset, with the
+addition of `<triple>` option.
+
+The value of that option is passed as the value of `--target=` flag, unless
+provided as `<triple>none`. In that case the flag is not passed to the build
+tools. If the option is not provided the build system may try to guess the
+correct target triple.
