OK, this might have finally happened and I have been trolling bsd fanatics about gcc since at least 4 years (maybe more). Not an expert on compilers, but gcc has some extensions like __gnu*, some of which are widely used. Not sure how clang currently deals with them. Building just the kernel with clang is likely possibly, but bare kernel is not a distro. Till recently, I believe one couldn't build desktop environment only with clang, might be wrong on this.
