Sweet! I downloaded clang 3.1 and added it to my nightly regression testing for the OMPI SVN trunk and v1.6 branch.
We'd only be able to accept this patch for the SVN trunk (i.e., what will become v1.7) -- the v1.6 series is closed for new features. I'm pretty fried right now (end of a long day); I'll review your patch tomorrow.
