+1 here. Even if i really want us to move to upstream llvm instead of the monster we have now, it has to go into several bulks, and the resulting pkgs have to be tested at runtime for regressions. You dont want to be the one breaking mozilla or webkit or kde or half of the ports-tree now requiring decent compilers.. Landry
