Building with clang?

I guess technically it's possible. LLVM project provides drop-in replacements for most of the GNU binutils, so these can be used as well. Did anyone attempt it? Any success?

The most critical part would be an LLVM backend for the videocore CPU architecture. christinaa and phire have each started writing one, but both projects look somewhat unmaintained and perhaps unfinished.

Thanks for quick response! It's a pity that there is no working VC4 LLVM backend at the moment.
