Rebuild of the Debian archive with clang
----------------------------------------

Sylvestre Ledru performed a study that rebuilt the Debian archive using clang
[1], a new C/C++/Objective-C compiler. The goal was to evaluate the current
capabilities of clang for compilation and C/C++/objective-C support. Results
are available on the Debian clang web pages [2].
