I used that script to build and install the latest svn pull. But it 
doesn't work!

Thu 11:41:16 ip2 yost /Volumes/x/llvm
0 244 Z% cat x.cc
void foo(void) {}
Thu 11:41:19 ip2 yost /Volumes/x/llvm
0 245 Z% clang++ x.cc
error: unable to execute command: . is not executable
error: clang frontend command failed due to signal 1 (use -v to see invocation)

The released binary clang++ doesn't exhibit this problem.


Some more notes about installation

1. The instructions don't say to do
     gmake install

2. For me, gmake install created these with restrictive permissions:
     /usr/local/docs
     /usr/local/include/llvm*
     /usr/local/include/clang*

3. gmake uninstall did not remove
     /usr/local/bin/llvm-config
     /usr/local/lib/clang/
     /usr/local/lib/LLVMHello.dylib
     /usr/local/bin/profile_rt.dylib
     /usr/local/include/llvm/
     /usr/local/include/clang/
     /usr/local/include/clang-c/
