Below (and at http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/patches/xcc.diff) you
can find an initial patch with proposed commit for external compiler
support.  It relies on the existing cross binutils as I'm finding that
the two are fairly separable.  With this patch I've been able to build
=66rom amd64 to arm, amd64, and i386 using clang from the lang/clang-devel
port.  I've also compiled the tree with a customized clang being
developed at the University of Cambridge.

The patch is untested with gcc.

Does this seem like a reasonable approach?  I do plan to look at external
binutils support, but it's not on the critical path for our current work
so I've opted to avoid it for now.

As a bonus for those who don't need an external compiler, but do run
make buildworld frequently, the XCC, XCXX, and XCPP variables can be set
to the location of the installed base system compiler to avoid building
the compiler twice during buildworld.

Add support for an external cross compiler.  The cross compiler is
specified by passing the XCC, XCXX, and XCPP variables (corresponding to
CC, CXX, and CPP) to buildworld/buildkernel.  The compiler must be clang
or be configured to target the appropriate architecture.

To speed build times, if XCC is an absolute path or
WITHOUT_CROSS_COMPILER is defined then no cross compiler will be built
during the cross-tools stage.

To facilitate the use of unmodified external compilers, a
WITHOUT_FORMAT_EXTENSIONS option is available to supress printf format
checking.

As a short-term measure, supress a few new clang warnings during kernel
builds.
