	My understanding is:

	8.*
	base - gcc
	ports - gcc

	9.0 (and possibly 9.*)
	base - gcc
	ports - clang (with the caveat some ports need either any gcc
				or a specific version)

	CURRENT
	base - as of this writing, clang (look for announcement in
				current@ or hackers@)
	ports - clang, as above though with a shorter list

	(Someone please correct me if they have more accurate
information.)
