With all due respect: clang hasn't been asked to cover even a tiny fraction of the breadth you get with gcc. Cross compiling with clang generally just means building ARM Linux binaries on x86 Linux hosts. Where's the clang/llvm equivalent to buildroot, for example?

The reason GCC is designed like that and LLVM isn't has nothing to do with the number of target architectures that either support.
