It's not very easy, at least not without breaking various parts of our fragile build system, but I surely want to put something like this on the TODO list for *after* the import has completed. The branch is making progress right now, and I would not want to complicate matters further by introducing yet another tricky feature. :) > - Could a "MK_CLANG_ALL_TARGETS" or something similar option be > added to src.opts.mk to fine tune this process for those of us who > don't want to build a cross-compile toolchain every iteration for our > target MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH? I would be fine with something like this, as long as it is turned off by default, or if it is only used for the bootstrap stages. It is actually an extremely useful feature of clang that you can target multiple architectures with one compiler binary. A more interesting case would be to remodel the build system so it can use one toolchain (external, or pkg-ng'd, maybe?) for building an entire universe. With clang, that should be relatively easy to do. -Dimitry
