Compiling FreeBSD kernels with LLVM 2.3-pre

Hello everyone,

Since yesterday I've been toying around with LLVM on my FreeBSD box at
the office. As an ideal test I tried to compile a FreeBSD kernel. I've
just sent the following message to the FreeBSD Hackers list, which
contains some stats on compile time, binary size, etc.

I'd like to thank the LLVM team for writing such a good compiler. So far
I'm really impressed by the state of the compiler. I can't wait for the
2.3 release. :slight_smile:

Awesome! If you're interested, the slides from my BSDCan talk are here for BSD'ers who couldn't make it:
