Probably... but how many archs does Clang support? How many archs does it 
generate working kernel code for? Love it or hate it GCC has been around 
forever and has been building OSes for almost as long. It's not perfect by a 
long way but I think it won't be any time soon that anything comes close.

>openbsd want to be a GPL-free OpenSource OS, and the BSD-licensed C

So instead of a GPL compiler, which admittedly isn't under the preferred 
license and has maintainers that are at times difficult to work with, openbsd 
should switch to a compiler chiefly developed by Apple who have shown time and 
time again that they basically don't give a shit about the projects they 
embrace and extend. For a company that depend so much on open software they 
don't seem to have any idea about open systems at all.
