IMO this is not the approach we should take in regard to gcc and ports.
Ports should use port-provided compiler, and be untangled from the base
toolchain. I believe that forcing ports committers to port 20K+ packages
to clang is a waste of the FreeBSD resources and is is destined to fail
despite the efforts.
