From the LLVM 2.4 release notes:
Known problems with the llvm-gcc C++ front-end
The C++ front-end is considered to be fully tested and works for a number of non-trivial programs, including LLVM itself, Qt, Mozilla, etc.
Exception handling works well on the X86 and PowerPC targets. Currently only Linux and Darwin targets are supported (both 32 and 64 bit).

By the way llvm-gcc is a supported compiler in Qt4 mkspecs.

The llvm-gcc component is the most recent one and indeed it is known that it is good for medium sized project, while QT is quite a big one.
The great advantage of llvm is for creation and optimization of specialized languages, or in the various conditions in which glue code between components needs to be optimized.
