This thread is completely off topic.  Please stop.

GPL vs BSD flamewars have no place on llvmdev.  The technical discussion 
of this thread ended when I suggested that if he wants a BSD  toolchain 
that he go build one.  If you want to discuss details of making it happen, 
go for it.  Until then, stop talking dragging out a pointless thread.
