Details

I tried replacing gcc with clang in my cross compilation environment [1]. I had to hack the environment to run at all (it's too shaky for publishing instructions yet), but I had limited success. I had to add some hacks for assertion failures in clang itself. I could build most of the tree, although linking failed badly.

I'm creating this bug as a meta bug for tracking progress.
