Both LLVM and GCC is being supported by processor manufacturers directly. Yes, Apple and Intel has their own LLVM versions, but as long as don't break compatibility with GCC and doesn't prevent porting explicitly, I don't see a problem.
I personally use GCC suite exclusively though, and while LLVM is not my favorite compiler, we can thank them for spurring GCC team into action for improving their game.

Exactly. I think people have forgotten just how poor GCC was 15 years ago. Both teams are doing excellent work. Even M$ has been upping it's game with it's compiler!
