[erlang-questions] building R14B04 64-bit in OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks with clang

[Mark Allen]

This is how my tool erlbrew builds Erlang on OS X 10.9

https://github.com/mrallen1/erlbrew/blob/master/erlbrew#L122-L124


There's something about hipe and clang that just doesn't build properly;
we don't need hipe for our particular implementations (we code on OS X,
test; stage and run production on Linux)

I think if you add --disable-hipe to your recipe, it should work without
gcc4.2
