A quick test did not work right out of the box. I downloaded the latest 
released clang-llvm, 0.221, put a symbolic link to the bin/clang that 
came with that in /usr/local/bin/clang, verified that I could compile 
and run a hello world app with

  /usr/local/bin/clang -o hello hello.c

the edited build23.sh to insert CC=/usr/local/bin/clang in the configure 
line.

Running the build.sh script got through compilation with nothing worse 
than more warnings than I would like, then broke at

`/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Segmentation fault


I probably won't have time to really look at it to figure out what isn't 
working.
