Given all that was said in this thread before,
I doubt any llvm developer is interested in RELENG_6 branch.
As far as I'm concerned this is just a port like any other,
and a port that I don't use. Even if it builds fine and
passes all tests, I can't see much use.

Or, perhaps, I'm missing something.
