To answer your question for csound 6.12.2-7 specifically: gcc 8.3.0

Usually, many of the packages are built using gcc. Some (e.g. faust)
require llvm though.

As gcc is in the base-devel package group, which is implied for building
packages, it's usually not listed explicitely in makedepends [1]. If one
needs llvm (i.e. clang) for building a package, it has to be added to
makedepends, as it is not in base-devel (don't ask me why ;-) ).

That being said, looking at csound [2], I realize there's llvm still in
makedepends, but it's actually not required for building! IIRC it was
added for testing purposes, but just not removed.

Best,
David
