I was curious enough to do this:

---
$ aptitude search clang
p   clang                                                    -
Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM), C language family frontend
p   libclang-common-dev                                      - clang
library - Common development package
p   libclang-dev                                             - clang
library - Development package
p   libclang1                                                - clang library
---

So now I know:
   1. Ubuntu 12.04 has it.
   2. But does not install it ny default.
   3. There is no documentation package for it.

I suppose, though, that if you switch any part of your Lua
ecosystem to clang, you will have to switch all of it.
Recompile all .so modules you use, etc.
