Yes, but the tests can change at any point in time and might not
reflect the code stored in the repository.

Could a note at least be provided, or a port maintained to help others
(say vendors) who have to qualify FreeBSD that this is the particular
version that needs to be picked up from <blah> in order to test our
shiny new compiler? That would make things considerably easier to work
with, as I've worked as QA in a Linux shop in the past, where a lot of
Linux provided packages that we had in the tree did not have the
associated test code, and as QA that made my job a pain to deal with.

Just a small file that stated where and/or how to obtain things would
make this a lot easier.

I would think that developers would also like the same to see whether
or not there are any particular known issues with clang/llvm.

Thanks,
