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.
