Thanks for the information.
I am not an expert on clang, but here is my experience: I had Xcode 4
and command line tools add-ons installed. I upgraded to Xcode 5 and
then I (as usual) went into Xcode Preferences -> Downloads and chose to
install "command line tools".
Xcode updates sometimes update the command-line tools and sometimes not,
in my experience.
I now have the same version of clang as Prof. Ripley describes above,
and I also get
sleipner:~ $ gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr
--with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.76) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0
Thread model: posix
I did not need to download anything from the developer website.
Not if you installed all of Xcode. But that is a 1.9GB download and
twice that installed -- more than some people want (especially those
with small SSDs). The only time I have ever used it was to tweak the
R.app project.
Question: I am still using the build of GCC 4.2 which Simon supplies
sleipner:~ $ /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 --version
i686-apple-darwin11-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)

I see in R-admin that CRAN is now built using llvm-gcc-4.2. I assume
this is now the recommended tool and I should switch?
It has been the recommended toolchain since R 3.0.0. If you use the
CRAN binary, it will use those compilers. If not, use what you like.
Best,
Kasper

As expected, the compilers used for the CRAN binary build,
llvm-gcc-4.2 and llvm-g++-4.2, are not part of Xcode 5. Less
expected was that updating to Xcode 5 did not remove them, at least
for me.
All that is needed to build R or install packages is the
'Command-line tools for Xcode' These can be downloaded from
https://developer.apple.com/__downloads/index.action
<https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action> (registering
your Apple ID for that site is needed). New users could download
and install
Command-line tools (OS X Mountain Lion) for Xcode (April 2013)
Command-line tools (OS X Mountain Lion) for Xcode (September 2013)
and install them in that order.
We have been testing building R and packages with clang since R
3.0.0, and details of how to do so are in the 'R Installation and
Administration Manual'. Xcode 5 updates to
tystie% clang --version
Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.75) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
whatever '3.3svn' means (3.2svn meant 3.1+epsilon).
