Building clang from source or ports isn't a problem.
Clang rom ports gives odd errors when -v is used, while clang from
source is still at 2.9 for powerpc. I'm on the iMac using Debian
currently; so, getting to the FreeBSD install on the QuickSilver is a
no show until tomorrow... apologies.

I asked the Debian llvm team for information on buildin g clang from
svn and the information was given. Little should need to be changed-
think in terms of similar paths and dependencies.
If I am able to build clang for both OSes on similar platforms, then
it will be good.

I'm returning to a self project of PowerPC accessibility with either a
live disc- working on that now with Debian- and/or a system setup with
Orca and other applications. It's a bit difficult to do such if I also
want a 10.x kernel and buildworld together.
Perhaps building everything separately would be better and then
building the kernel.


When Tinderbox reported an error and my machine did the same- same
error, then I decided that clang would be  a better compile option
than gcc.
