Is it possible to build the llvm runtime without building llvm-gcc/g++?
No, they are written in C/C++.

Do you mean the LLVM tools and libraries (e.g. llvm-as, VMCore.o) or the C/C++ compiler support libraries in llvm/runtime (e.g. crtend.a)?
You can build the LLVM tools and libraries *without* llvm-gcc.
You cannot build the C/C++ support libraries (found in llvm/runtime) without llvm-gcc/llvm-g++. However, we provide pre-compiled versions of llvm-gcc/llvm-g++ for several platforms, so chances are good that you won't need to compile it yourself.

Not easily. You'd have to have an alternate C/C++ front end with which
to compile the code. None other than llvm-gcc and llvm-g++ exist, to my
knowledge.
