I'm having a problem building google v8 on FreeBSD with clang.  I get
this error:

/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
gmake[1]: *** [/root/v8/out/x64.release/cctest] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/root/v8/out'
gmake: *** [x64.release] Error 2

I needed to use gmake rather than make, and I added the following to use clang:
setenv CC /usr/bin/clang
setenv CXX /usr/bin/clang++
setenv GYP_DEFINES "clang=1"

Some version info:
# clang -v
FreeBSD clang version 3.1 (branches/release_31 156863) 20120523
Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd9.0
Thread model: posix
# gmake -v
GNU Make 3.82
Built for amd64-portbld-freebsd9.1

command used to checkout v8 code:
# svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8

# uname -a
