I think initially we first of all wanted to add llvm-objdump and check
for and fix any fallout.  The next step is to install llvm-objdump as
objdump and then make sure base, xenocara and ports still work fine.

It's probably not a problem for objdump, but objcopy is often used and
I fear for incompabilities.  So yeah, I guess someone has to start and
see if llvm-objdump as objdump still works fine.
