It seems a bit low considering IBM is funneling $1 _B_illion into Linux on POWER projects. IBM has long ties to GCC, but LLVM has captured the code generation library market even where gcc is used as the system or application compiler so it's more relevant than ever for them to put some people on it.
IBM makes a lot of announcements with price tags. Their track record says most of that money is spent on developing business applications RUNNING on Linux. Some is spent on FLOSS code contributions, but not the whole $1B.
