[alie]

Like my subject, is there any way i can build FreeBSD 9 with GCC 4.6 ? I just read this article. Seems they able to build FreeBSD with GCC 4.6 and seems its not legal ? CMIIW

I seriously doubt it's not legal. It is, however, not supported.

This won't matter once 9 is released. Clang & LLVM support will be there, so why use gcc when you don't have to?

It keeps options open, avoiding monoculture. It also gives a chance to compare output, which can lead to improvements in both.

Completely agree, i was wondering if there is an option to use gcc 4.6.x instead of CLANG for users that wants to build custom kernel with gcc. Is current FreeBSD 9.0 BETA 2 compiled with Clang ?
