When will Mac OSX itself be compiled with LLVM? It sure sounds like a better solution than fat binaries and GCC or ICC. The thing LLVM needs before being useful on OSX though, is support for Objective-C.

Is there any systems out there using LLVM instead of GCC? Like some odd Linux distribution or something?
