clang is dependent on llvm. I would address any specific clang

I do all our release testing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We also

more familiar with all the backend changes could comment.

Btw.. Anton checked in a couple of patches today for mingW. You could  
try checking out svn and seeing if they help you get further on Cygwin.
