Status of NetBSD and LLVM
NetBSD/AMD64 has been supported by LLVM and Clang for quite some time now. There are a few regressions in the ATF tests compared to GCC, but they don't look serious.
Recent work for NetBSD/i386 involved fixing a number of nasty little ABI bugs, where NetBSD and other ELF systems differ in the details. It is now comparable to the status of AMD64. -

The insane AMD64 segmentation issue
When AMD introduced Long Mode aka the 64bit extension, they retired the segmentation implementation to switch to a flat memory model. The entire concept of segmentation? No! The FS and GS register still work somewhat like before, just not entirely. Why is it important? Modern Linux binaries require support for Thread Local Storage (TLS) and that is using FS and GS.
