FreeBSD has moved to llvm.

  NetBSD also supports clang/llvm. https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/pkgsrc/clang/ https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/pkgsrc/clang/

  For the base system or for everything? I doubt they moved the ports to compiling to LLVM.

    It's the default for anything. Many ports override that and specify gcc (but that was already the case in a lot of cases where they needed a newer version than what shipped in the base system).

    Starting FreeBSD 10 (released in 2014) the default for everything including ports was to build with clang. There was a large effort leading up to that to get as many ports as possible building with clang. Many bugs in clang were fixed, and patches were submitted upstream to make others work. At this time that effort is dead: the few ports that don't build with clang are accepted as doing something that will never work.

    For compiler for base and most of ports, yes. The linker is still an ancient GPL2 GNU binutils one.

      A lot of work happened on linking base with LLVM's LLD, I think it might be already used in -CURRENT for amd64 and arm64.
      • loeg 9y ago
        It's only used for arm64, not amd64, because arm64 doesn't exist in GPL2 binutils (from ~2008).
