Comment (by sean@…):

 All good questions.

 `julia` is built on top of LLVM and compiles down to
 [https://idea.popcount.org/2013-07-24-ir-is-better-than-assembly/ IR].
 Using clang for C is the only thing that makes sense to me. The variants
 of gccX for `julia` are just for the fortran parts.

 I somehow missed the `configure.compiler` specified on the command-line
 before. Simply put, I wrote the mpi and compiler portgroups to avoid
 having to use `configure.compiler`. That way you know exactly which
 compiler was used by looking at the variant. My suggestion would be to
 nuke everything built with your custom `configure.compiler` and just use
 the variants to select the compiler.
