How to use clang stages
Clang stages are available from the following URL:

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/bsd/freebsd/stages/amd64-fbsd-9.1/clang/stage3-amd64-clangfbsd-9.1.tar.bz2

Please see bug list and page Clang. In addition, please report to Gentoo Bugzilla if you find a package that can not be compiled with clang.

Bug list

 * dev-libs/openssl-1.0.0j and dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1c fail to build with Clang
 * dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.5.2-r1: build fails with using clang-3.3 on x86-fbsd
 * [TRACKER] Packages that fail to build with LLVM/Clang on Gentoo FreeBSD

Why make the package once ?
When compiled with CXX="clang++ -stdlib=libc++" to llvm or clang, clang command does not work at all (Segmentation fault occurs always).

When set CXX="clang++ -stdlib=libc++", in order to successfully compile them, should both be linked to libc++.so.1.
