GCC has more frontends. GCC has more backends.
I checked the GCC development list, and apparently there is talk among the devs about possible merging, down the road.

Considering that Apple employees aren't even allowed to look at mailing lists that might contain GPLv3 code I don't think any LLVM/GCC merger is likely.
For some, the removal of the licensing requirements is /the/ reason that LLVM is interesting. For example, Adobe has a C->Flash compiler that uses llvm-gcc so they can add their own proprietary optimization passes and backend code generation.
