There are several bugfixes in this update, but the most important one is
to ensure __start_ and __stop_ symbols for linker sets and kernel module
metadata are always emitted in object files:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9292
Before this fix, if you compiled kernel modules with clang, they would
not be properly processed by kldxref, and if they had any dependencies,
the kernel would fail to load those. Another problem occurred when
attempting to mount a tmpfs filesystem, which would result in 'operation
not supported by device'.
This commit merges the latest LLVM sources from the vendor space. It
also updates the build glue to match the new sources. Clang's version
number is changed to match LLVM's, which means /usr/include/clang/2.0
has been renamed to /usr/include/clang/2.8.

Even though it's nice to use posix_spawn() instead of manually using
fork()/exec(), it's better to disable this. FreeBSD 7 doesn't support
this interface. When enabled, we can't build tblgen, which prevents us
from building FreeBSD 9 on 7.
