No it can't right now and this is why we need a ports compiler. Right now
we are hiding this problems by the fact that we are able to build 95%
percent of the tree with clang and everyone is happy. We add dozens of
patches to compile with clang or add this rpath workarounds to even more
ports just because nobody wants to acknowledge that this is shit and won't
work properly unless really everything is build with one compiler.

The rpath stuff is only a workaround that works in a few cases but it
doesn't work in all cases. You will still see very hard to diagnose runtime
crashes.
