I am in the process of upgrading boost-libs from 1.52.0_2 to 1.55.0 (this is FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE).

The new version of boost-libs insists on installing lang/clang33 first, but then appears to use the default /usr/bin/clang to compile itself.

Is this an unneeded dependency, or am I missing something?
