Comment:

 The error I see in the log you attached is:

 {{{
 error: expected a platform name, e.g., 'macosx'
 }}}

 I just fixed this problem in magic recently so hopefully the fix I applied
 there can be used for irsim as well. The problem is that a #define
 "macosx" is being set by the project, and this conflicts with directives
 in the system headers on at least Mountain Lion. The fix is to remove the
 custom `macosx` #define and to use the `__APPLE__` #define Apple already
 provides.

 I can confirm that using llvm-gcc-4.2 works around the problem but I'm
 surprised that works. I think we should not employ that workaround in the
 port; instead we should patch the software just as I patched magic
 already, and submit that patch to the developers.

 First we should update irsim to the latest version. I just fixed the
 livecheck.

 We should also apply additional patches to irsim that are already in the
 magic port, including removing "-I/sw/include" from the build system.
