Well, yes -- it's nice and portable like that. I think at some point they got it building with PCC and TCC too? My point is unlike the other BSDs they haven't

My point is unlike the other BSDs they haven't made a point of deprecating/removing GCC from the source tree, or even using LLVM by default where they can. For third parties worried about GPLv3, you can easily delete all GPLv3 code with a rm -rf src/external/gpl3 :)
- rjsw 5y agoLLVM doesn't support all the CPU architectures that GCC does, ones missing include 68k, VAX and SH3.
- ndesaulniers 5y agoLLVM recently got a m68k backend. It's still marked experimental, so distros likely aren't enabling it yet. But it's seeing active developments from hobbyists. Main author of the m68k just had a book on LLVM published.
