Doesn't gccgo reuse the standard Go runtime, and wouldn't integrating LLVM'S GC support require pretty much writing a brand-new runtime?

LLVM doesn't come with a garbage collector; it comes with hooks you can plug your GC into. So it'd require a good bit of work to integrate with LLVM's GC support, but nowhere near rewriting the whole runtime.
