Clang is LLVM.  You probably mean "llvm-gcc" rather than "llvm"?

Do you know if it is specifically cairo or pango that has the issue (or both)?  I'd suggest just having cairo and pango use clang over llvm-gcc-4.2.  If the issue goes away, don't look back.  clang's the way of the future as it is, let's not get stuck on llvm-gcc-4.2 for too long...
