Are you aware of the ccc script and/or llvmc2 (I think there is a version
for clang, otherwise it should be pretty easy to do)?
Also, I may be wrong, but clang is more like cc1/cc1plus that gcc since this
is just the front end, or even less than these. For exemple the -O flags
don't do much sense for clang, but they will be usefull for opt.
I think the idea is to have llvmc2 be the equivalent of gcc.
