Fedora's policy is to not depend on LLVM/Clang as much as possible, but would it be acceptable to use LLVM/Clang to compile newer LLVM and Clang releases?
Some more experimental features (such as LLDB, which some developers have been asking for) appear to be better tested with Clang.
For example: http://lldb.llvm.org/build.html
the "make CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11" suggested at the bottom applies only to clang and is unrecognized by GCC.
I can file an FPC request if necessary, but would like to check with the list first whether it's a sensible thing to have or not.
Best,

I think it's reasonable to allow llvm to bootstrap itself.

Does anyone know if there's any security features that gcc compiles in that would be important for clang/llvm? Are there things other than clang/llvm that are using llvm? (python had attempted to but then abandoned the idea).

Software rendering in Mesa (used by recent GNOME3 instead of fallback mode).

Thanks. For me, this would be a point in favor of compiling LLVM with gcc.

Yes, that seems to be the safe choice. Thanks!
