Another (IMHO better) validation is that FreeBSD compiles the kernel with clang: http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang

FreeBSD can compile the kernel with Clang, but at least as of 9.0-RELEASE, the default is still GCC. They're aiming to switch to Clang for as much as possible for 10.0-RELEASE, in a couple of years.

FreeBSD has made a lot of progress with clang in the base system (which consists of both the kernel and standard userland); I run a clang-compiled FreeBSD on my laptop.
But that said, we have a lot more clang coverage through the work done by the ports team who have been running experimental builds with clang for more than a year. That work is documented here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsAndClang
