It will be great to know if llvm is ready to do same for several
important linux package.
Are you really sure that Apple uses LLVM because it is better
*compiler*? Maybe the reason is that LLVM is more easy to integrate
to IDE tools (it's more modular and some features are available by
shared libs, e.g libclang). The another story are (maybe) non-technical
reasons.
BTW, util-linux is possible to compile by clang.
