According to the log file, Clang 3.0 is being used, which is now more
than two years behind (the release was Dec. 1, 2011).

The large litany of warnings about hiding virtual functions is known to
be a bug in Clang 3.0 and was reported almost two years ago:

With that said, I haven't tried compiling Elemental against the most
recent versions of Clang and will do so soon.
