Apple unfortunately doesn't ship the headers and libraries required to

<http://llvm.org/releases/3.5.0/clang+llvm-3.5.0-macosx-apple-darwin.tar.xz>
and extract it somewhere and point the CC, CXX and LLVMCONFIG
variables to the binaries in that package in your .mozconfig.
Is this something we ought to consider adding to mach bootstrap, or at
least adding some optional way to simplify this?
What do you mean by "this"? Downloading clang? That seems to be simple
enough.
Simple for the initiated. Any step that stands between a potential
contributor wanting to patch Firefox and that patch landing should be
turnkey and automated as much as possible. Every step is a hurdle where
we can lose a potential contributor. Mike Hoye can articulate this point
far better than I can. Talk to him if you want more details.
