I certainly welcome clang in general, though. In that case, it's worth noting that you can shave a fair bit off the = build time by not building gcc. WITHOUT_GCC=3Dyes in src.conf is = worthwhile. WITHOUT_GDB=3Dyes is probably also sensible, as the gdb in = base is so old that it doesn't understand most of the DWARF that clang = uses. We should have lldb ready for import in a few months, but until = then using gdb from ports is more sensible if you plan on actually doing = any debugging. As we transition to a GPL-free base system, we're going to have some = fairly long windows where we have the old GNU tool and its replacement = both in base. Over time, the old ones will be removed, but not until = the newer ones are well tested. This, of course, happens faster if = people are running systems where they are the only option... David
