I'm not sure how much LLVM is oriented towards "modern architectures".  GCC has its issues with old architectures but it does support them, and the big benefit of GCC is that it does have a VAX back end.  While we know it needs some repairs, those are unlikely to amount to more than 10% of the work needed to build a whole new back end for a different compiler system.
