Hi,

in case that anyone else runs into the same problem: it seems that
clang 3.3 crashes when compiling some of the TeX Live sources
(reproducible both on Mac and FreeBSD where clang 3.3 is now
apparently the default compiler) while both clang 3.2 and clang 3.4
work fine for me.

I don't believe that many people on this list use clang to compile TeX
Live sources and there is a high chance that sources will be modified
enough that the problem won't be reproducible by the time you start
building.

But just in case anyone will hit the same problem and wonder, here's
the "easiest" recipe: switch to another (version of the) compiler ;)

PS: compiler crashes when compiling writettf.c from within the
luajittex repository. We didn't do extensive tests of anything else.
