Are you trying to build some particular version of clang?  I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the base clang now builds on FreeBSD/powerpc64 RELENG_9.  I've not attempted to do a buildworld and buildkernel using clang, but it did at least work for a simple "hello world" C program when I gave it a quick try.

backup# clang -v
FreeBSD clang version 3.0 (tags/RELEASE_30/final 145349) 20111210
Target: powerpc64-unknown-freebsd9.0
Thread model: posix


If the base clang is not working appropriately for you, I think it would be best to focus on getting that working first.

Cheers,

Paul.
