That's an excellent idea. Is there also a knob (WITHOUT_GROFF ?) to turn off groff, another one (WITHOUT_GPERF ?) to turn off gperf, etc. etc., so that world compiles with clang as it stands now? BTW, C++ files in the (RELENG_7) tree are also here: /usr/src/contrib/expat/xmlwf /usr/src/contrib/gperf /usr/src/contrib/groff /usr/src/contrib/libstdc++ /usr/src/contrib/wpa_supplicant /usr/src/crypto/openssl /usr/src/sbin/devd > Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 > phk_at_FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 > FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe > Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
