--- Comment #1 from Mark Millard <markmi at dsl-only.net> ---
clang (even 4.0) does not work for TARGET_ARCH=powerpc :
It has basic problems with stack handling for R30 use
when floating point is involved for the ABI that FreeBSD
uses. Also  the handing of thrown C++ exceptions is
messed up.

clang (even 4.0) does not work for TARGET_ARCH-powrepc64 :
The handling of thrown C++ exceptions is messed up.

There are llvm bugzilla submittals for such things and
they are on the llvm bugzilla meta- entry for what blocks
use by FreeBSD as the system compiler.

Note: clang 3.x was in worse shape until 3.9.x .

clang is a long way from being able to be the compiler
for the likes of kyua for QA testing FreeBSD.

So I believe that any "or clang" is a bad idea still.
