If your svn tree is anything like mine, you did clang as a separate  
checkout, so you will also need to do 'cd tools/clang && svn up'  If  
you've modified the Makefile in tools to include clang as a  
subdirectory then doing [g]make in the root directory of your llvm tree.

I think you mentioned you use FreeBSD - you might be interested in  
seeing that there is a branch of LLVM that now builds with BSD Make  
(although if you're using GNUstep Make, you'll need GNU Make installed  
anyway).

As far as I know, my latest patch now means that clang can codegen any  
Objective-C construct GCC can, as well as fast enumeration.

I know some people are working on supporting Apple's GC interfaces in  
GNUstep - we can do that relatively easily for clang if anyone has  
managed to build AutoZone on platforms other than Darwin.
