Same failure pattern on both Darwin and Linux.  Yes Darwin is:

      System Version: Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 (10K549)

Sorry, missed this crucial step.

The instructions suggest this:

To build on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), you need a helper library and header found here. cp cxxabi.h to /usr/include, and cp libc++abi.dylib to /usr/lib. 

But I'm not a sysadmin so I can't write into those locations.  Do you know if clang will work correctly if those files are located elsewhere?

Ah yes, I probably forgot to add this, thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions, links, etc.. that really helps me out.
