[cfe-dev] Clang now the default compiler for FreeBSD on x86

[Brooks Davis]

FYI, I've thrown the switch and made clang the default compiler on
FreeBSD-CURRENT (development branch) for x86 systems.  I suspect this
will yield a modest in increase in bug reports in the short to medium
term as the user (and application) base expends again.
