One important missing piece here is performance. Not that it may be slower than gcc build but how much slower is the question.
Also
"Depending on how the configuration is tweaked/the
SMP support of the kernel that I'm building on top of, Clang builds Linux in about 13-15 minutes."
It will be interesting to see if clang builds faster than gcc with similar level of optimizations enabled.
