Some packages are in fact LLVM-specific, e.g. the Pure language. The main weakness of our LLVM support at the moment (apart from upstream still shipping a lot of libraries as static, and the not-ideal splitting of files into subpackages on our side -- patches welcome for that) is that C++ support periodically gets broken due to g++/libstdc++ API changes, that Clang tends to lag behind in supporting. In the future we should probably ship LLVM's libc++ but last time I checked, a couple of weeks ago, they only support OS X at the moment.
