But when you look what all that C++ is doing in Base, it seems like it's basically LLVM and then a lot of code that's just there to help you write more C++ code. Not a whole lot of the FreeBSD Base userspace, the uilities and so on - is actually written in C++ despite that. It's getting a free ride because the compiler uses it.

Not important, you have to compile your Compiler fini, btw for Linux (just the Kernel) you need Perl ;)
