GCC

LLVM

  • Arch Linux has patched it in (on by default) for Clang for a while
  • Gentoo wanted to use it sooner but was waiting for an upstream acceptable patch to avoid rebasing, since 14+ is on by default
  • Chimera Linux and any LLVM based musl distros will be using it as it is forced on for musl in LLVM anyway

Most distributions do not use an LLVM-based toolchain by default because this mostly (until very very recently) required using non-glibc. Hence there has been less importance or regard for what LLVM's default was until recently because it was not used as a system compiler.
