The compilation fails because it cannot find unwind.h, since we still
have not cleaned up our act in FreeBSD, and chose one of the 4 (or so)
available versions we have in our tree, to install into the standard
system include directories.

Other than that, I recall there were still several test failures in the
sanitizer parts.  This needs more work to get it completely done.

I'm not sure if the llvm libunwind you added in r242543 will get picked
up during the build of compiler-rt, but that could at least provide
*some* form of unwinding library.  It would be better for FreeBSD to
just import that wholesale, so we can finally ditch libgcc... :-)
