TBH, I failed to see how cross-compile in llvm is simple compared to GCC. The problem is that you still need to build libc, you still need to build compiler-rt, you still need to build libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind whatever manually one by one. Building them wastes more time than building a GCC cross compiler. That is why people just build GCC cross compiler and then use clang --target to GCC's libraries.
