Cool! There's a ready-made Debian package for it: http://packages.debian.org/sid/clang Works perfectly on my Ubuntu Karmic x86_64 system. Without any optimisation options, the C-only cython-devel test suite runs in 156 seconds (2:36) on my machine, compared to 191 (3:11) with gcc. Not the kind of difference that lets you start running it from a commit hook, but certainly noticeable.
