I'd like to object to this. We have an identical ABI to Linux (and 
Solaris, as far as I know). Splitting this by platform will only 
propagate the stack alignment breakage further -- what we need is 
LLVM/our C library to handle different alignments. Please fix this for 
real instead of balkanizing the ABI support in LLVM and introducing 
different ABIs for LLVM and GCC to FreeBSD.
