[LLVMdev] make error building llvm/clang 3.2 on Linux

I'm attempting to build a native build of clang from the 3.2 source
distribution tarballs, but I ran into this build error that's got me
really puzzled.  My platform is Linux - 32-bit Ubuntu (12.04) running
on a PC.  Here's the (abbreviated) output from make:

[Note: I created a symlink from <LLVM_SRC_DIR>/projects/compiler-rt to
the directory created by unpacking the tarball source for compiler-rt
(which is located on the same level as <LLVM_SRC_DIR> and has a suffix
of "-3.2.src" in the name), so that's why the directory names may
look
a little funny.]

Running "gcc -x c -E -v -" gives me the following:

***************************************

Notice that "#include<...> search" has "/usr/include"
in the list, for
both c and c++.  Now I do a ls -l /usr/include/features.h, and I see
the following:

***************************************

$ ls -l /usr/include/features.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13084 Oct  5 16:34 /usr/include/features.h
$

So I'm confused!  Why can't the header file be found by the compiler
when making clang/compiler-rt?

Thanks,
