How fast clang builds world in comparison to gcc is irrelevant. What is important is whether software built with clang functions correctly. See for example, http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/errata.html#WhatComp Has anyone run Spec CPU2006 on i386 and amd64 FreeBSD? -- Steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
