i won moderate amount of beer from bets on "when will freebsd ditch
gcc from base?". fanatics took the bait and get mad at the
observation "freebsd wouldn't exist in its current form without gcc".

since at least recently clang can't compile some stuff g++ can
(almost sure gnu extensions).
Clang has caused a lot of pain and misery because it claims to be GCC,
but it can't digest programs with GCC extensions.
