 Yes.  That's my point.  Some ports blacklist clang.  Those ports really
 need to be fixed to build with clang.

 Unless you would prefer that we remove that fallback and fallback to
 apple-gcc-4.2 instead?

 No.  I would prefer it if ports were updated to not depend on a 7 year old
 compiler.

 > Yes, ideally ports would be fixed to compile with clang, but not
 everyone is proficient enough in C/C++ to accomplish that immediately, and
 often blacklisting clang is the simplest way to get a port to build
 immediately.

 Yes, but that is not a long-term solution.  Such ports have been that way
 for 3+ years now.  They need to be fixed.

 Yes, we should fix llvm-gcc's build, but we also should really fix the
 dependent ports to not use llvm-gcc.
