Thank you for that. The approach seems reasonable and importing
clang/llvm is a good first step.
One item that doesn't seem to have been mentioned elsewhere is the the
other *BSD Projects - presumably they would also be interested in a
BSD-licensed toolchain. Have there been any discussions with
representatives from other Projects to investigate a common/shared
path forward? I believe that the *BSD's are all similar enough that
they could share a common toolchain with minimal local adaptions. The
benefit for FreeBSD is that a larger userbase will further encourage
"vendor" support. As a second-order effect, the more diverse users
that clang/llvm has, the faster bugs will be found (and hopefully
fixed).
