I've been reading this thread and must confess that I'm a little = confused about what exactly is being discussed. * I presume we've all agreed that "clang" is installed by default in = FreeBSD-10. * I presume everyone agrees that "cc" is "clang" in FreeBSD-10. * There obviously needs to be a "gcc" command in FreeBSD-10, since "cc" = and "gcc" are synonyms in so many people's finger-memory. Is the debate here just a question of whether "gcc" is "clang" or "the = *real* GCC"? Would it be feasible to install GCC as "gcc42" or something similar so people could still reach it regardless of what the "gcc" alias pointed to?

Personally, I would rather compile the base system with the *supported* compiler. Today, on FreeBSD-CURRENT/x86 and FreeBSD-CURRENT/amd64, that is clang.

Based on my own experience, I would put this rather differently: GCC and Clang are COMPILERS. Therefore, they have DIFFERENT BUGS. This is why I worry about having "cc" and "gcc" be different compilers. Tim
