`make -j8 -DNO_WERROR -DWERROR buildworld` went perfectly with 
CPUTYPE?=k8 in the host system (BTW, does it affect something in case of 
building ClangBSD?). I've installed it in a jail, and it runs already.
The first thing I've noticed is make(1) segfaulting even without target 
(I think that was already reported in this thread). However, tcsh(1), 
ps(1), top(1) and ftp(1) run smoothly :) I'll take a closer look at it a 
little bit later.
Anyway, much kudos to all the ClangBSD Team, you've done a really great job!
