The FreeBSD people are rigorously testing LLVM, with the goal to replace GCC as soon as possible (for the base system only). At the moment, the base system compiles and runs for some architectures, as noted in http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang#head-afded4881d7e6bbe9c179091a51bf6e043e6a435 http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang#head-afded4...
