In configure we mandate either GCC v4.8 or better, or clang v3.4 or better, or XCode Clang v5.1 or better (Apple uses a different version numbering setup to upstream). So you should probably double-check that that xcode clang has what you want, but it looks like we're good to go otherwise. thanks -- PMM
