``llvm-gcc-4.2.1`` has been found to miscompile Python 3.3.x and
80+
produce a non-functional Python executable. As it appears to be
81+
considered a migration aid by Apple and is not likely to be fixed,
82+
its use should be avoided. The other compiler, ``clang``, has been
83+
undergoing rapid development. While it appears to have become
84+
production-ready in the most recent Xcode 4 releases (Xcode 4.5.x
85+
as of this writing), there are still some open issues when
86+
building Python and there has not yet been the level of exposure in
87+
production environments that the Xcode 3 gcc-4.2 compiler has had.
