[LLVMdev] clang++ on MacOSX with fsf-gcc libstdc++?

If you check the Clang list (cfe-dev-list) the issue dealing with 
atomics for gcc-4.7 has been settled. I can verify this on Debian Linux 
using gcc-4.7 that clang/clang++ builds and no long fails when compiling 
a simple HelloWorld program. Atomics for c++ are now recognized as 
__c11_atomic_* and it builds cleanly from what i've tested.

I presently don't have a 10.7 box to test against trunk, but those 
errors are now gone from Linux.

The thread to read:
