Comment:

 Since you asked me to do the commit, I added the patch rather than
 blacklisting the compiler to avoid the need for installing an additional
 compiler, r150998. It doesn't make much of a difference either way. Most
 MP users probably need to have clang 3.4 installed anyway.

 This has only been a problem since some version of 3.5 (the initial RCs
 comiled ok).

 As far as the upstream is concerned: the `configure` script contains
 nearly 18k lines already. I don't think that adding 10 additional lines
 would add so much more complexity. The source code doesn't need any
 changes at all, one only needs to correct an "incomplete test" for a
 feature. I agree that the number of Lion users is declining and that this
 is not a problem in MacPort where blacklisting a compiler is super easy.
 But on the other hand the patch is not too ugly and I don't see any good
 reason to refuse patching the upstream sources (other than perhaps saying
 that the patch could/should be improved). Of course, if Python switches to
 C++11, this will be a different story.
