[LLVMdev] llvm/clang test failures on powerpc-darwin8

I just tried to cmake with clang/llvm 2.8, the last release that built 
cleanly (but never tested), and it just spews out endless nonsense when I 
try to compile simple test programs during cmake.  It's also missing a C++ 
include path, /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/powerpc-darwin8 (bunch of paths 
mis-hardcoded to darwin10), which I've fixed in my local patches 
and edits for trunk and release-3.0 builds.

I don't think it would be very productive to fix up 2.8 or 2.9 for the 
sake of bootstrapping 3.0+, when I've gotten so far using the system 
g++-4.0.1, and fink gcc46.
