ci: Use GCC consistently in i686 task
According to the comment removed in commit
fae0295a799499268caca9c385ac4d7061543980, clang was only used to avoid
OOM. Using GCC today should be fine.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit changes a Bitcoin Core continuous integration (CI) test script to use the GCC compiler instead of Clang for a 32-bit Intel (i686) build. It removes the Clang/LLVM packages and compiler flags from the CI environment. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin Core software that users run, and nothing in the commit suggests a security issue.
No security action needed. This is a routine CI configuration change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies ci/test/00_setup_env_i686_no_ipc.sh, switching the i686 no-IPC CI task from Clang to GCC. It removes ‘llvm clang’ from PACKAGES and deletes the -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER and -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER lines that forced Clang with -m32. The change is motivated by a prior comment indicating Clang was only used to avoid out-of-memory issues, which are no longer a concern. This is a CI/tooling change only.
