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. Erik=
