I used svn version, but otherwise that is what I tried (among many other
options), but it doesn't compile.
First problem is in configure, compilers are not found, but it is fixable.

If I set clang and clang++ as compilers, some include files are not found,
even when I give the correct path.

And if I set gcc and g++ as compilers, then it gives error that some
function isn't part of llvm (???).

When I compile Gambas, it gives me this requirement:
|| Unable to find file: libLLVM-3.3svn.so
|| gb.jit is disabled

So I don't think LLVM 3.2 will do it.
