What are the real benefits of LLVM over GCC in this case, besides speed?
Speed, diagnostics, size, and not being limited to the GPL universe.

Can I modify LLVM source code and redistribute binaries or other tools based on it, without redistributing the source?
Yes. This is why we distribute LLVM under a less restrictive license than GPL, as explained in the first question above.
Amen.

Apple control freak, DRM shakedown

This is exactly what they did with the Darwin OS, which is worthless without the other EULA- and DRM-encumbered parts of OS X.
Apple is an expert at leaching off open source and not giving anything in return. I wouldn't be surprised if they intentionally make this "BSD-style license" incompatible with GPLv2 or v3. Phoronix, please stop advertising LLVM - it will only lead good GCC devs astray to toil on a project that will be useless to Linux and FOSS users in general.
