And I finally found out this was a red herring, and I had already solved this issue before, in July 2015 [1], with excellent help from Andrea!  This was originally known as PR24249, and eventually turned out to be solved by llvm r219009.

However, the two build VMs I have been using for LLVM release testing were never updated to include the fix, and were still at the version of FreeBSD from roughly May 2015.

I have now been able to do a successful build of the llvm, clang and (for amd64) openmp.  Uploaded the following tarballs:

SHA256 (clang+llvm-3.8.0-rc1-amd64-unknown-freebsd10.tar.xz) = 28b8f7758736dab181da9e5e445eb734b134a579ed79bcf8b040d4a7d5c9d31d
SHA256 (clang+llvm-3.8.0-rc1-i386-unknown-freebsd10.tar.xz) = ba9712964c56bcc9ba50f511f2a98757d321d5cd1c7989790029dd64c3db6db4

I will now spend some time to see if I can get more components to build for the next release candidate.
