A lot of upstream software on GNU/Linux only supports GCC. Clang tries to
support GCC extensions, but I strongly doubt it'll compile all upstream code
unchanged, and upstream projects might even reject patches to fix the build
with Clang because they only support GCC.
We wouldn't know unless we try. Guess work doesn't lead to much. Hence
my question. Has anyone actually tried to do compile say a large C
codebase with LLVM?
