Hi,
ClangBSD is a branch of FreeBSD that aims at integrating clang (clang.llvm.org)
into FreeBSD, replacing GCC as a system compiler.
Recently, we've achieved the state when clang can compile all of FreeBSD world
on i386/amd64 platforms (including all the C++ apps we have and itself)
and a bootable kernel. Thus we feel that the time has come to ask the FreeBSD
community for wider testing on i386/amd64 (you sure can help with other
platforms too :)).
How to setup ClangBSD:
The default configuration of ClangBSD requires clang installed so you can
either install fresh llvm-devel port (portinstall devel/llvm-devel) or change
CC to "gcc" and CXX to "g++" in share/mk/sys.mk. I recommend the former.
svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/clangbsd/ clangbsd
cd clangbsd&& make buildworld
echo NO_WERROR=>> /etc/make.conf
echo WERROR=>> /etc/make.conf
make DESTDIR=/clangbsd-chroot/ installworld
now you have ClangBSD world installed and you can chroot into it. I don't
recommend installing ClangBSD into real root as it is not tested enough.
You can also start using clang compiled kernel - either build the kernel in
the ClangBSD chroot (set NO_WERROR=yo and WERROR=yo in /etc/src.conf) or set
CC to clang and build kernel the normal way.
This information (and more) is also provided on:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang
We kindly ask you to setup ClangBSD chroot and/or use clang compiled kernel and
use it as you would normally use FreeBSD. Please report back
Thank you,

`make -j8 -DNO_WERROR -DWERROR buildworld` went perfectly with
CPUTYPE?=k8 in the host system (BTW, does it affect something in case of
building ClangBSD?). I've installed it in a jail, and it runs already.
The first thing I've noticed is make(1) segfaulting even without target
(I think that was already reported in this thread). However, tcsh(1),
ps(1), top(1) and ftp(1) run smoothly :) I'll take a closer look at it a
little bit later.
Anyway, much kudos to all the ClangBSD Team, you've done a really great job!
