This means that that object file links to libstdc++, which presumably means that the patch doesn't work.

I believe Jeremy H. S. is aware of the issue with llvm-3.2.

The libcxx port is only necessary for OS X 10.6, which doesn't provide libc++.

Since your source still fails to compile, it seems that the port needs more work.

Without seeing your main.log, it's hard to tell whether you're testing correctly.
