Hi,

I managed to cross-compile latest -CURRENT + Ben's patches with clang =
and compiled kernel boots on pandaboard.
Pandaboard support is still work in progress, but clang compiled kernel =
boots up to the same point like gcc version.

I  used latest clang/llvm from svn with following:

CC=3D"/opt/llvm/bin/clang -mcpu=3Dcortex-a9 -ccc-host-triple =
arm-unknown-freebsd -mfloat-abi=3Dsoft"
WERROR=3D""

This works both on FreeBSD and Mac OS X host.

Issues:
 - integrated assembler for ARM doesn't work properly ( I filled bugs =
[1] and [2])
 - gnu as works ok but newer version of binutils is needed which =
supports ARMv7 instructions
 - i had to patch [3] clang to invoke cross linker properly (thanks to =
guys form #freebsd-clang )


Regards,

Damjan
