They are trying to phase out GCC altogether, as they are stuck 
with an ancient version due to licensing issues (GPLv3).

The Clang driver was specifically engineered to be a drop-in 
replacement for GCC, so given that many Makefiles are hard-coded 
to use "gcc" or "g++", I think what they are doing makes sense.
