Ok, having experimented a bit, llvm-config seems to provide the compiler flags needed for the clang build. So specifying those additional CLANG_ variables is maybe superflous, but maybe not. The Xcode installation itself unfortunately does not seem to provide a llvm-config (I couldn't find any).

nat at kempe:build(^) $ ../../clang-test/build/bin/llvm-config --cxxflags

Ciao
