cmake without clang dependency

[T-3B]

I cannot install cmake without Clang, and I would like to since I use GCC.
Why cmake is dependent on Clang? And how I could use cmake without Clang (but with GCC) ?

I am used to GCC and it works perfectly on my Android phone with Termux. I want to avoid taking more space by having 2 C compilers.

In ubuntu (22.04), cmake recommends gcc, make and suggests cmake-doc, ninja-build, cmake-format.
In Arch Linux, cmake also doesn't depend on any specific compiler.
Should cmake in termux suggest clang rather than depend on it? Any ideas? @Grimler91 @buttaface @thunder-coding

I think that would be a good idea, it was added a long time ago by Fredrik, 8f2ae5e.

Now you can use apt install cmake --no-install-recommends to install cmake without clang.
