Chromium fails to build with clang as well as gcc46

Hi,

Chromium doesn't build neither with Clang 3.1 nor GCC 4.6.3. I am on 9.1-RELEASE amd64.

This is the error with Clang:
Code: 
cd /usr/ports/www/chromium/work/chromium-courgette-redacted-27.0.1453.93 &&  GYP_DEFINES="use_cups=1  use_system_yasm=1  use_system_libxml=1  use_system_ffmpeg=0  use_system_libusb=1  use_system_libevent=1  use_system_libvpx=0  linux_breakpad=0  linux_strip_binary=1  linux_use_tcmalloc=0  linux_use_heapchecker=0  linux_link_libspeechd=1  clang_use_chrome_plugins=0  disable_nacl=1  enable_webrtc=0  enable_openmax=1  enable_one_click_signin=1  no_gc_sections=1  os_ver=901000  prefix_dir=/usr/local  python_ver=2.7 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome proprietary_codecs=1 use_gconf=0 use_pulseaudio=0 clang=1" /usr/local/bin/python2.7  ./build/gyp_chromium chrome/chrome.gyp --depth .

and this is the error with GCC, it fails somewhere in the middle of the build:

With regard to the Clang error, I have no idea where that ssp-buffer-size comes from.

This is my make.conf:

Code:

Seems that doesn't build with clang-base because doesn't recognize '--param ssp-buffer-size=4' argument which corresponds to GCC Stack-Smashing Protector (SSP) implementation. Install from ports: devel/llvm and lang/clang.

Remove all these in your /etc/make.conf:
Code: 
CFLAGS=-O2 -mtune=native -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
CXXFLAGS=-O2 -mtune=native -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe

Try to build again.
 
That worked, but I was getting warnings for unused option ssp-buffer-size. Also it worked with the default clang (3.1) which is there in base.

I don't know how to add directory based flags in make.conf, can you help?
 
FYI when you currently set CFLAGS and/or CXXFLAGS in make.conf(5)(), some ports will break. Unless you know exactly what you're doing is better don't set up. Anyway, read /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf if you want go ahead.

Clang will return a lot of 'unused argument' warnings: they are harmless. Add this to /etc/make.conf if you want to hide them:
Code: 
.if ${CC:T} == "clang"
CFLAGS+=        -Qunused-arguments
.endif

Well, those flags were indeed taken from /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf.
I only added -mtune=native thing, which usually does no harm.
 
If you want to build it using Clang instead of GCC, it can be done using the following configurations available for chromium-27.0.1453.110_1:
Code: 
     CLANG=on: Build Chromium with Clang instead of GCC 4.6+
     CODECS=on: Compile and enable patented codecs like H.264
     DEBUG=off: Install debug symbols
     GCONF=on: GConf configuration backend support
     PULSEAUDIO=off: PulseAudio sound server support

All you need to do to use the above configurations is:
cd /usr/ports/www/chromium/ && make config && make install clean
