Are there some magic chants to get this changed?

Ok, thanks

isl and/or cloog are outdated aswell. Im just surprised that the package  
only built llvm and dint say anything about an error for clang.
I managed to compile the gcc 4.7.4 package without much changes (except  
removing x32 options), I think I would just have to fix the packages +  
depencies.

If I manage to get gcc-4.7.4 backported (and thus hopefully clang built)  
would this allow you to offer the llvm binaries on your site, or is using  
a backported gcc against some rules?
I think there arent any ABI changes between 4.7.2 and 4.7.4, so the  
compiled clang should still work with wheezy libraries
