"Importing CMake into the base system was not an option"

Not needed though, cmake can generate (BSD Make-compatible) Makefiles, amongst other options, which could be committed, just as configure scripts generated with autoconf are also committed.

Very useful summary!

I would also have a look at clang-local(1) man page which list differences as well

Another difference I noticed is the ports clang-13 binary calls /usr/local/bin/ld (instead of /usr/bin/ld), so it might be GNU ld on one, or LLVM ld depending on what is /usr/local/bin/ld.

I had issues with /usr/local/lib/libtcl86.so.1.8 not detected by LLVM ld (only /usr/local/lib/libtcl86.so would be), but not that bug with GNU ld.
