llvm dev - Mar 2011 - [LLVMdev] Ask for help with FreeBSD bootloader, aka #6627

Hi,

In FreeBSD, we aim for replacing gcc with clang. We can compile all of the
base system except the loader which does not fit within the hardware
limits (7680 bytes).

Currently (r127066) clang/llvm is missing the target by 5 bytes. Thus
it's 5 bytes from us being able to compile all of FreeBSD with clang (and
replace gcc with clang).

There's #6627 (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=6627) that if fixed
would get us well over the limit (by saving ~30 bytes).


Can someone please help us and fix this bug? thank you!

Long overdue, but it is fixed now.
