If a port doesn't compile with the default compiler in base, I expect =
that port to add a build dependency on the compiler that it actually =
does compiles with. Of course, I hope to not have 6 different compilers =
installed on my system, but the list of build or runtime dependencies =
are at the discretion of the port (maintainer). As you (I think) said, =
we can't force port maintainers to patch their ports to support clang.

So even today, we have a significant number of ports that don't compile =
with the default compiler (GCC 4.2.1). Aren't they broken already, in =
the sense that they fail to tell me, the user, which compiler I should =
use?

Thanks,
