Ah, then I hereby urge FESCo to finally reject this for real. The mailing
list feedback was overwhelmingly negative last time this was brought up.
It is a distribution choice which compiler produces the best results for the
distribution (best optimization, highest security, etc.). If that compiler
is GCC, then why would we want to build packages with Clang, unless there is
no other way? (Or if Clang is really better, then why do we not build the
whole distribution with Clang? But as far as I know, GCC is still the better
compiler overall, so there is no point in switching.)
Kevin, I'd love to support your stance and use GCC. However, there are
reasons why we will need to consider Clang for e.g. Ruby:

And the reason is not even that upstream favors Clang. The situation is
unfortunately not just black and white.
