I think it's perfectly reasonable to direct compilation problems in a program residing in ports to the developers of the compiler. It really has nothing to do with the FreeBSD base compiler. The reason being that mplayer relies on a non-docmented GCC-specific asm side-effect, and there's a one-line patch in the PR which solves the problem, makes the claim even more absurd. Expecting FreeBSD Clang maintainers to respond to compilation issues in FreeBSD base seems perfectly reasonable. Expecting them to respond to random issues in the ~24.000 ports is not.
