Cannot convert an existing GCC project to LLVM with Clang [message #1761007]

My configuration:
Eclipse CDT Neon.3 + official LLVM plugin
Ubuntu Linux 17.04 32-bit

I have a workspace with existing projects. Most of them are static libraries. When I switch the toolchain for those static libraries from GCC (Linux) to LLVM with Clang (Linux), the libraries are built without further problems.

On the projects whose Build artifacts are Executables, the LLVM toolchains are not even shown as compatible. If I switch to LLVM toolchain with Clang anyway, the Build artifact is empty and I cannot build the executables. The only way in which I am able to build the executables is to return to GCC (Linux).

Is this functionality not yet complete? Or am I missing something?

I found a very similar question from 2015 on stackoverflow, but with no answers.
