two completely separate questions here.

First, for the processor OMAP3530 (the Cortex), is it possible to use the
llvm/clang compiler?  Or, is gcc the compiler being used, for cross compiling?
What sources are being used?  If it's the same gcc in sources, then I need to
know what are the flags used to build with (or, if it's actually in the build
already, where is it, how to do that?

2nd question, is there any document, set of notes, anything at all, to give any
sort of info at all so that I might have some idea of what needs to be changed
in the kernel sources.  I figure it's probably not going to be anything like a
complete document, but I'm quite willing to try to use any level of document
that might exist.  Understand, I *don't* want some general purpose porting guide
(something that would be used to create a bsd.port.mk-type port, I need this to
be specific for the kernel sources.

As far as that goes, are all the sources for the current level of work on the
arm ports in the svn repository, or if it's somewhere else, where might that be?

Thanks for two answers, I need to start leasrning this stuff, and these two
points seem to me to give me a firm enough place to begin.
