I (or ranter jhalfs for blfs) always build llvm with clang and compiler-rt. For some packages, clang gets used instead of gcc. I've never tried to measure what is gained or lost because of that. I think llvm standalone is mainly used by various mesa drivers (llvmpipe, amdgpu). Maybe also by a few audio/video codecs, but not sure.
