I will have to try it on Debug build.

Anyway, the good news is that llvm-3.0 release Release build builds
(huh? - being too precise seems to lead to stuttering)
on a 512MB machine with a little bit of free disk space.

I cleaned up a few zombies, killed that tightvncserver
and switched to ssh. Also it is prudent to avoid the
make -j2 temptation
and let the second core slack off.

The result is:

clang version 3.0 (branches/release_30 142168)
Target: armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi
Thread model: posix

(oh common it is tegra2 not some unknown)

in:
352M    llvm-3.0-armv7l-linux

linked with:
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20

tested:
Unit tests run OK until JITterbug stops the fun.
...
[----------] 1 test from JIT
[ RUN      ] JIT.GlobalInFunction
UNREACHABLE executed!
0  JITTests 0x00795fa8
Stack dump:
0.      Running pass 'ARM Machine Code Emitter' on function '@F1'
make[3]: *** [unitcheck] Aborted


So now clang is building clang, and happily so far...
