If I recall correctly, there are GCC binding to LLVM, are there not?
Apple has always been a bit of a difficult system for me as I don't
have the OS to test on (actually, this is true for Windows too).    I
have made a new branch in the repository that is at the moment current
and will maintain support for the older releases.  If someone wishes
to maintain it, I have no problem there.
