"LLVM still doesn't support as many architectures as GCC, and Clang's C++ support is still at an early stage."
I think it safe that no compiler will ever support as many architectures as GCC. Unless it replaces GCC completely, of which there is no immediate danger. Clang's C++ shortcoming is another story; good thing LLVM has GCC's C++ front end to tide them over. Good C++ front ends are not trivial to come by. This may take awhile.

GCC is never going away, but I could imagine it being marginalized as "the embedded compiler" while Clang takes the OS X/Linux desktop/server/HPC markets.
