Waiting for clang. Forever and ever.

FreeBSD compiles with LLVM /clang by default. Part of this is compiling the compiler to accommodate upgrades of the compiler. On my laptop FreeBSD compiles in about 2 hours. But clang takes 2 hours on its own. The culprit is that now and than a small fix is made to the compiler which triggers 2 hours of extra building. It is also possible to install llvm as a pkg. This saves you hours of compiling. I tried to built base with the port, but it did not succeed yet. I now have setup FreeBSD in a container (FreeBSD jail) which helps greatly in fixing mistakes instead of a non bootable system without a working compiler I can now just reinstall the container from a working host. My changes to make this working: This is on: FreeBSD sjakie 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #11 r364932M: Sat Aug 29 03:21:18 CEST 2020 Add to /etc/src.conf : WITHOUT_CLANG=true WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC=true WITHOUT_CLANG_BOOTSTRAP=true WITHOUT_LLD=true WITHOUT_LLD_IS_LD=true WITHOUT_LLD_BOOTSTRAP=true WITHOUT_LLDB=true
