   Hallo Gerrit!   
      
    GK> FreeBSD completely switched already some time ago   
      
   According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang;   
      
     25 February 2009  Clang/LLVM can compile a working FreeBSD kernel.   
     10 June 2010      Clang/LLVM becomes integral part of FreeBSD, but default   
   compiler is still GCC.   
     12 May 2012       Clang/LLVM announced to replace GCC in FreeBSD.   
     5 November 2012   Clang becomes default compiler in FreeBSD 10.x.   
      
   I don't see any claims for a Linux kernel, nor as a default compiler on any   
   Linux distribution.  They do mention something about Debian which, given the   
   eglibc support of days gone by, isn't really a feather in clang's cap ... if   
   you know what I mean.   
      
   Anyhow I have built llvm with clang in the past and I suspect it is still   
   doable but I have serious doubts about it compiling standard Linux source from   
   kernel.org without some major hacking/patching.  Also I haven't installed   
   clang on anything here yet and it'll be awhile since I am just upgrading the   
   raspberrypi as we speak.  I guesstimate some clang kernel/glibc action   
   sometime early next week.  For me those are the two most mission critical   
   packages and will tell the tale.   
      
   Het leven is goed,
