Back around May, I migrated my stable/8 machines to stable/9.  At that
time, I also switched to clang from gcc for building the FreeBSD base
system.  (I expected quite a bit more "turbulence" were I to attempt
that with ports.)

Accordingly, I configured /etc/src.conf to read:

CC=clang
CXX=clang++
CPP=clang-cpp
WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS=yes

and that has been working well for me since.  (Disclosure: I track
stable/9 daily, which is probably a higher frequency than most folks.
For that matter, I also track head daily on the same machine (different
slice).)

In any case, there are no problems I can ascribe to having done that.

Peace,
david
