It's fairly easy to determine whether assembly code was compiled with gcc or clang from idioms they use-- GCC emits .ascii for strings and then adds a trailing null; clang uses .asciz, for example. From that you can also figure out whether a particular executable or shared library was compiled with one or the other-- gcc is doing a leaf frame caller optimization, where it leave / jmp to puts() (using the stack frame allocated for main()), whereas clang is doing normal stack frame handling of %rpb and explicit return.
