My system is FreeBSD 9.0 Release and the lst time I use Clang. It works very
good but the lst problem was with Calligra which didn't built.
As I red in /usr/ports/UPDATING I ran portmaster -r png- and there are so many
ports which should be rebuild.
My question is: Is it better (safer) to use gcc or try clang? Or is it better
to not update png?
Thanks in advance.
