Thanks.

I'm out of the loop, since this is so close to the final release I'm not sure 
whether I should get this in...

It should not break anything, since Clang was broken before. But then again, 
who knows?

Could someone please chime in and tell me what to do? The reason why I'd like 
to have it, is because otherwise it's very easy to break code by committing 
crap when you use clang. None of the usual pendantic flags are set, and some 
functional changes can even lead to random crashes (esp. related to global 
statics).

So... what do you think? Btw, is there still no BSD using clang by default to 
build KDE? How did they manage to get this to work without the patch?

Bye
