Hallo Gerrit!

 GK> FreeBSD completely switched already some time ago

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang;

  25 February 2009  Clang/LLVM can compile a working FreeBSD kernel.
  10 June 2010      Clang/LLVM becomes integral part of FreeBSD, but
default compiler is still GCC.
  12 May 2012       Clang/LLVM announced to replace GCC in FreeBSD.
  5 November 2012   Clang becomes default compiler in FreeBSD 10.x.

I don't see any claims for a Linux kernel, nor as a default compiler on any
Linux distribution.  They do mention something about Debian which, given
the eglibc support of days gone by, isn't really a feather in clang's cap
... if you know what I mean.

Anyhow I have built llvm with clang in the past and I suspect it is still
doable but I have serious doubts about it compiling standard Linux source
from kernel.org without some major hacking/patching.  Also I haven't
installed clang on anything here yet and it'll be awhile since I am just
upgrading the raspberrypi as we speak.  I guesstimate some clang
kernel/glibc action sometime early next week.  For me those are the two
most mission critical packages and will tell the tale.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
