There was a brief, glorious period where kBuild didn't require GCC. For =
really simple virtualbox builds (amd64/i386 vbox-ose-additions without =
X11), kBuild built with clang works just fine.

Could I talk you into a non-default option to build kBuild with clang, =
with maybe a pkg-help blurb to explain the narrow circumstance under =
which it could be enabled?

I'd sure love to stop building GCC and all its dependencies for my =
simple needs.
