Comment Re:too bad GCC is not relevant anymore thanks to L (Score 2) 406

LLVM was created by freeBSD due to the continual dropping of support for older hardware by the GCC team. Another issue they had was the optimizations of the software increased the difficulty of debugging things as the optimizations varied every time they compiled the software. Thus LLVM was created with the goal of binary stability that could be easily debugged and that supported the many older peices of kit that freeBSD runs on instead of being forced to use GCC 1.2/1.5/2.1/2.2/2.3 and such.

Since when was LLVM created by FreeBSD? o.O
