You are completely right, it now builds with Clang, let me post the results:

Operating system: Debian 7 - Testing/Jessy
Hardware platform: x86
C Compiler: Clang 3.3-16 (branches/release_33) (based on LLVM 3.3)
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: yes
Installation of eggs works?: yes

The whole build & test run finished in a whopping 14 minutes and 10 seconds (vs 
the 24 minutes and 4 seconds of GCC).

Sorry for the less-then-accurate test with Clang in my previous mail.
Strange though, I did run a:

$ make PLATFORM=linux clean

before attempting to build with a different compiler.
This worked on the i7 machine...but apparently not on the Atom.
