<pre>[lib/Target/PowerPC is a guess on my part for where the
issue would be addressed.]
In attempting to buildkernel via FreeBSD's clang 3.9.1 variant
the attempt stops with the following for code that has been in
place in FreeBSD for a very long time (historically gcc 4.2.1
toolchain use):
--- locore.o ---
/usr/src/sys/powerpc/aim/trap_subr32.S:409:2: error: too few operands for
instruction

*** Error code 1
clang 3.9.1 is not allowing the optional crD to be optional
in the instruction format:
cmp [crD,]L,rA,rB

(The above filled in the default value explicltly.)
[So FreeBSD can avoid the specific issue. This issue is unlikely
to be considered an issue that contributes to why the system
compiler for powerpc can not be clang yet.]
Materials around such as:
<a href="http://www.tentech.ca/downloads/other/PPC_Quick_Ref_Card-Rev1_Oct12_2010.pdf">http://www.tentech.ca/downloads/other/PPC_Quick_Ref_Card-Rev1_Oct12_2010.pdf</a>
show the optional status for crD. My guess is that the clang toolchain is
incomplete in its coverage for the intended notation.
(I've no clue if there are other such optional-syntax issues in general.
If there are then FreeBSD does not seem to have examples of hitting any
of the other examples via its clang 3.9.1 variant.)</pre>
