It sounds like you want the ports tree to come with USE_GCC set to something (what?) by default. Well, that seems ... reasonable, certainly if it proves difficult to identify which individual ports have GCC'isms. > What you are proposing is de-facto forking the whole open-source code > base.

I would agree that forking the whole open-source code base isn't a relevant problem for FreeBSD project to solve. There are folks who find the exposure of clang to a widely used collection of software such as the FreeBSD ports collection valuable, and are motivated to fix any genuine issues found with Clang/LLVM. (At least once some of them recover from WWDC, anyway. :) > Ports should not be forced to use clang, either a ports gcc work > should be finished, or cc in HEAD switched back to gcc. This is > de-facto blocker for the 10.0. I don't understand why the base system compiler and the ports compiler would need to be linked. But I remember old SunOS 3 and 4 boxes which came with a kernel compiler and needed Sun's acc or a gcc toolchain for almost everything else...
