Description

Otherwise the flags used for clang-tidy are those chosen for GCC, such as this:

```
error: unknown argument: '-fno-lifetime-dse' [clang-diagnostic-error]
```

(Also, if clang-tidy fails, shouldn't the build fail?)

Thought this was fixed previously but can't find the change, so maybe it wasn't.
Related: #5239 .

Research direction

Start with the GitHub Actions job shown in the linked run, at step 13:20, and compare the compiler and clang-tidy configuration used there. Check related issue #5239 for prior context. Done means non-GCC configurations no longer receive incompatible GCC flags and clang-tidy failure behavior is explicitly addressed.
