The below forward from freebsd-pcc's list confirms that binutils 2.27 =
not working for powerpc64 (& powerpc?) contexts.

Note: Krzysztof Parzyszek is one of the two people that have recently =
been working on updating clang/llvm for fixing some of the issues that =
block FreeBSD from using clang for powerpc and powerpc64 for buildworld =
and buildkernel.
