Simple answer there: these files are in 'gcc/config/' etc.,
but 'clang-format' is restricted to 'gcc/rust/' only (both in
'.github/workflows/clang-format.yml' and 'CONTRIBUTING.md':
"Running `clang-format` locally").

Unless everyone uses it, using 'clang-format' everywhere is too noisy;
it has a very strict (in my opinion: restrictive) understanding of
"proper" format.  ;-)
