Thanks for the patch. Here's what happened:
configure:11646: checking if /usr/bin/clang supports -fno-strict-aliasing

Apple recently updated XCode. The way it reacts to this issue may have changed.
Also Homebrew started using `-Xclang` in February when XCode-4.3 came out,
the first version from the app store. According to the comments in the Homebrew
code:
# Clang mistakenly enables AES-NI on plain Nehalem
They only set these CFLAGS on that specific CPU
-XClang -target-feature -XClang -aes
Does that seem reasonable?
