Last time I've checked on 9.X [mid August, FreeBSD clang version 3.1
(branches/release_31 156863) 20120523], Clang still produces invalid
code (some nopl (%eax)) for the AMD Geode LX (i586 CPU found on some
ALIX board or Soekris NET5501). I don't know if this is also a concern
with older CPU (Pentium 2/1) ?

Well, I will not be able to run FreeBSD from scratch on my soekris :-)

Best regards.
