:) I think it's worth distinguishing between Snow Leopard build issues (e.g. the patch you attached) and issues of building a Mac OS X native lldb with a non-clang compiler like gcc 4.8 & the GNU libstdc++.  The last gcc release that Apple had (with Objective-C++ support) was 4.2.1 or so - which obviously won't work for lldb because of the C++11 use in the codebase.

Where did you define CONFIG_HAS_PTHREAD_CHDIR for your build?  It might be easier to add something like

#if defined(__APPLE)
#include <AvailabilityMacros.h>
#if  MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED > MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6
// __pthread_chdir and __pthread_fchdir are only available on Mac OS X 10.7 and later
#define CONFIG_HAS_PTHREAD_CHDIR
#endif
#endif


to common/Host.cpp.
