Thanks Brian, though I'd still like to stay at -stable because as I can
tell the snapshot packages for loongson are actually for -release.  BTW,
should they also be copied to 6.4/packages as well?

Also, as you mentioned, /usr/bin/clang{,++} are available on loongson
-current, does that mean that loongson has also migrated to clang in
6.5?  (If so that's fantastic news! :)
