I haven't installed Lion yet to check how things played out at release
time, but I know some of the final release candidates were shipping a
broken version of llvm-gcc that had a known bug affecting EV.xs
compilation.

The bug is documented by the LLVM guys at:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9891 , and it was an optimizer
bug (goes away with -O0).  The final bug comment shows an EV.xs patch
I made that serves as a crude workaround.
