oops, you are using the debug build og clang. This is why it's so slow 
compiling :)

Look at the shell script attached to the last message, and use the cmake 
command there to configure clang:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release ../

To make a good comparison, please to boostrap clang properly (you need at 
least stage2, in theory from that point all binaries should be identical). 
Building clang here does take about an hour or two, yes, builind a C++ 
compiler is a long compilation.
