It doesn't have to be like that. I suggested elsewhere in that thread that emacs maintainers should use llvm for what they need, since it can already provide that service. This would require further down the road to have Gcc match llvm feature-wise (except maybe that feature), so that compilation of code accepted by llvm would be possible with Gcc.

I'm almost certain that RMS would veto the use of LLVM. He clearly views LLVM as an enemy of 'freedom'.
