I uploaded in Debian 3.6rc1. Most of the archs are fine beside kfreebsd.
I had to write some patches to make it build (I will see to forward them).
David and I did a rebuild of the whole Debian archive using clang 3.6rc1:
http://clang.debian.net/status.php?version=3.6.0rc1

It didn't show any regressions compared to 3.5. There are a few more
failures but nothing critical: 5.7 % of failure with 3.5, 5.9% with 3.6

I found two new kind of failures:
http://clang.debian.net/status.php?version=3.6.0rc1&key=KEYWORD_PRECEDE
http://clang.debian.net/status.php?version=3.6.0rc1&key=INCORRECT_CONVERSION

I will do another rebuild once 3.6 stable is released.

Cheers,
Sylvestre
