If you can find an old version of llvm-gcc it will produce radically
different bitcode from Clang. So different that a modern LLVM wouldn't
even understand it.
But if you just run the pretend llvm-gcc that's on modern macOS
machines, it will produce code identical to Clang because it's
basically just a symlink *to* Clang.
Cheers.
Tim.
