You should add a comment explaining why you blacklist a compiler. For clang on Xcode 4.4.1 I ran into the following; is this what you saw as well?

error: global register variables are not supported


As for llvm-gcc, you're not actually blacklisting it with the above, because the compiler name is not "llvm-gcc" but "llvm-gcc-4.2". It builds fine for me with llvm-gcc-4.2. What problem did you encounter?


If you're going to blacklist both clang and llvm-gcc-4.2 you have to do more work to fall back to apple-gcc-4.2; see:

But as I said I don't think that's going to be needed in this case.
