This is with vim in the commandline, but the same happens with gvim.

Apologies...copy-paste gone wrong:

1) the vimrc I used:
https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/utils/vim/vimrc
2) post to the llvm-mailing list:

The fixed links are above, and the commands I used (with a hello world
bit of code):
vim hello.cpp
:set makeprg=clang
:make hello.cpp

for gcc opening the file and typing :make hello works (but not for clang)

I have not yet tried this with a makefile, as I followed the approach
outlined under quickfix here:
http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Programming/Introduction_to_C_Programming.html
Anyway I would hope that for such as simple compile this could work
with clang without having to figure out makefiles.
