how about a port containing the missing bits from Apple's LLVM toolchain?

The standard variant for llvm, to have binary packages, and apparently a locally built clang to skip the arm_runtime. As far as I can tell that didn't include assertions.

I can no longer compare clang-3.4 and clang-mp-3.4, but I'll see if I find a moment to repeat the comparison with clang-3.5 . How long approximately to build clang-3.5 without that arm runtime, on a 2*2 core 2.7Ghz i7 MBP?

Would it at least be possible to expand on that. In other words, why?
