Bug 215369: devel/kBuild: Re-allow building with clang [patch]

--- Description ---
Created attachment 178042

GCC option

For very simple uses, GCC isn't required for kBuild. Under most circumstanc=
es
it is, but when you only need virtualbox-ose-additions without X11 and you'=
re
on amd64/i386, GCC isn't necessary.

It would be really nice not to have to build GCC and all its dependencies.

The attached patch makes GCC optional, and enabled by default, with warnings
that it should only be disabled under specific circumstances (with a pkg-he=
lp
file to spell out what those circumstances are).
