Doesn't this imply that clang/llvm isn't quite ready for deployment. Being able to boot a complete clang/llvm compiled FreeBSD system would seem to be critical. When you say "This is being worked on", do you mean clang/llvm is being changed to compile boot2 or do you mean boot2 is being changed to allow clang/lvvm to compile it? -- SteveReceived on Mon May 31 2010 - 13:19:02 UTC
