I don’t know about debian based distro specifically but installing clang shouldn’t remove gcc, they are orthogonal to each other.
When you try building a specific package try CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./sage -f symmetrica for example. Yes there is a possibility of your sage install breaking after that. But since symmetrica looks like just C code it shouldn’t. If you try to fix linbox you should get ready for some pain.
