           Summary: "clang: warning: not using the clang compiler for C++
                    inputs" due to hard-coding of /usr/bin/clang in
                    WebCore.gyp
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/140925 for bug 107984 changed Source/WebCore/WebCore.gyp/WebCore.gyp so that it now hardcodes "/usr/bin/clang" as an argument for --preprocessor switch that's fed to the part of the build that preprocesses the bindings idl files.

In my OSX 10.6.8 environment, that change causes the build to generate hundreds of "clang: warning: not using the clang compiler for C++ inputs" messages.

Why not just have "clang" there instead of "/usr/bin/clang"? That way you could just have this part of the build using the clang that the rest of the build uses; e.g., if I have my environment set up for building Chromium with clang in $CHROME/src/third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin the idl preprocessing would use that clang too.
