It does not and in any case, invoking this clause is a red herring since as=
 explained in the license, the concern and what's not allowed is using an i=
ntermediate representation and feed it to a proprietary (non-GPL-compatible=
)
software to e.g. optimize it or further process it.
LLVM is a GPL-compatible Software, so this is irrelevant.
