There is no bug number that I am aware of, but the file
../llvm/tools/clang/test/Lexer/constants.c says:

/*RUN clang -fsyntax-only -verify %s
*/

int x = 000000080; /* expected error {{invalid digit}} */


and this is exactly the error that pops up in landau.c.

I will check into what ccc is doing here. There was a small patch script on
the list that took care of gcc specific arguments. I assume that it was
incorporated in ccc (or something similar)?

I will check this patch out as well and see how far the compilation gets (I
will be busy until late in the week, then I can look).
