Swift (swift-lang) absolutely, positively requires clang. I tried
building Swift with gcc and that is a lost weekend I’d love to get
back.

For C/C++ projects:
If the upstream has no stated preference for the compiler, the
packager SHOULD use the system default compiler (i.e. GCC).
If the upstream specifies a preference, in their documentation,
build, or support processes, the packager SHOULD follow
the direction of the upstream.
Are there any upstreams that specify a preference for Clang in
general?
Usually it's a specific binary build of Clang, or maybe a source build
with certain patches applied (and that is downloaded and built the
first
time the project is built, as some sort of bootstrapping step).
So it's not so much “use Clang”, but “use our compiler, not the
system
compiler”.
Thanks,
Florian
