clang may be related.

Can you look into what happens here?  My tests (with a full build) 
definitely have succeeded, and they have actually used clang as cc
on FreeBSD 10.

Is this specific to amd64 for you and works on i386, say?

No, unless it looks like a general issue.  So far my guess is that
it may be something in your environment.
