Is it possible to build FreeBSD/ppc (32 bit) using the current clang 3.2?

No, clang for ppc32 target is incomplete. There are currently two glaring
missing features-- thread-local storage and position independent code. TLS
may not be necessary to build world, but PIC most certainly is, for
building the shared libraries.
