"From what we see, Google is planning on enabling additional compilers and plans to support LLVM in time."

They haven't done it yet.

Google provides a modified version of binutils that can create Native Client binaries. This should be enough to compile from any programming language to Native Client binaries.

As for LLVM: I believe the main challenge here is modifying the LLVM JIT compiler to produce Native Client-friendly machine code.
