If make tinderbox could use this it would be useful, otherwise, for = most folks it seems like a less interesting feature. > A more interesting case would be to remodel the build system so it can > use one toolchain (external, or pkg-ng'd, maybe?) for building an = entire > universe. With clang, that should be relatively easy to do. Agreed. bdrewery is working on something similar to that internally for = Isilon. Building the same toolchain N times internally when building the = system and your upstream revision of FreeBSD doesn=92t change is like = testing your sanity =97 not much changes with the bootstrap = compiler/toolchain then!
