I've no idea about the clang prob; if you want clang[*] you might try
hunting down an older version, which could have fewer OS dependencies
(it will also be missing features tho).

A bit of googling suggests gcc isn't particularly hard to compile either.
(e.g. http://www.coding.com.br/mac/building-gcc-4-6-on-macosx/ )

[*] BTW, take the clang hyperventilating on that page with a grain of
salt -- it's a neat and promising project (especially for
"non-traditional" compilation), but unfortunately it's also managed to
accumulate quite a few fanboys, who tend to ... er, overestimate its
merits.
