Indeed, at WWDC, we announced that llvm-gcc will be going away next year. We have no plan to do any bug fixes for it.

Please move to "LLVM Compiler" aka Clang. I agree that the naming is confusing here, but the message shouldn't be. There is no reason that you shouldn't move to Clang today, and it supports both SSE4.2 and AVX, which llvm-gcc doesn't.
