I just see 2 regressions since the previous release.

1) with llvm-gcc, Configure.pl fails :

$ perl Configure.pl --cc=llvm-gcc --link=llvm-gcc
Parrot Version 3.3.0 Configure 2.0

Hello, I'm Configure. My job is to poke and prod your system to figure out
how to build Parrot. The process is completely automated, unless you passed
in
the `--ask' flag on the command line, in which case I'll prompt you for a
few
pieces of info.

Since you're running this program, you obviously have Perl 5--I'll be
pulling
some defaults from its configuration.

init::manifest -      Check
MANIFEST.....................................done.
init::defaults -      Set Configure's default
values.....................done.
init::install -       Set up installation
paths..........................done.
init::hints -         Load platform and local hints
files................done.
inter::progs -        Determine what C compiler and linker to
use...Compilation failed with 'llvm-gcc'


2) with clang, Configure.pl runs without problem,
but the build fails at the first C compilation

My box uses a Xubunbu 11.04, with :
$ clang -v
clang version 2.8 (branches/release_28)
Target: i386-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
$ llvm-gcc --version
