[lldb-dev] Compilation failure on FreeBSD 8.

[dawn at burble.org]

I get this same error (and 17 others like it) compiling on Mac OS/X
in XCode version 3.2.6.  gcc --version says 4.2.1 (I assume that's the
gcc XCode is using but can't be sure).  uname -a says version is 10.8.0.

I followed the instructions documented here http://lldb.llvm.org/build.html
and started with a clean build.  This is building just lldb (no llvm/clang)
inside the XCode IDE.  

What's the actual source change to fix this?  Can you please send a patch?

Thanks in advance,
    -Dawn
