I just noticed this in 'cc --help' output for clang 3.4:

  -ffixed-r9              Reserve the r9 register (ARM only)

Does that mean we can now build u-boot with clang and not need to build
a recent gcc from ports?  I don't have time to experiment with it right
now, but that might shave some time off a crochet build.
