DragonEgg is an LLVM backend for GCC: http://dragonegg.llvm.org/

There was some discussion of joining forces in the early days of LLVM (ca. 2005 I believe), but for various reasons that did not go forward. Licensing is indeed a big issue: GCC has had the explicit goal of making proprietary plugins technically infeasible, which leads to avoidance of some modularization/decoupling opportunities.
