Nothing wrong.  Clang/LLVM compiles U-Boot just fine
as far as I can tell.  That's what I've been doing for months.

But I couldn't figure out how to make that work for the U-Boot port:

1) I need a cross-compiler the u-boot port can depend on.
    I don't know a particularly clean way to depend on
    the xdev tools that I was using before.  It seemed much
    easier to depend on another port.

2) Our port tree already had some basic framework for cross-GCC.
    (Remember this is typically being cross-compiled for ARM
    on i386 or amd64.)  I had to fix that support a little to make it
    work correctly, but the outline was already there.

3) I didn't see anything already in ports for cross-clang.

4) The base clang has some cross-build abilities, but
     it's not really useful without ARM libc or binutils.

Is there some other approach that I overlooked?
