Yes, Linux kernel has to be built by gcc at the moment. Last time I checked it, the kernel source is hardcoded to use gcc, so changing cc won't affect it. Other than the kernel, non-gcc compilers should work just fine in userland. FWIW, I've tried rebuilding @world with clang on my host; only two packages failed and they are very easy to fix [1].
