I tried using latest elemental commit - and got errors. Then I noticed
the fix was the following - so retried with this snapshot - and I still get build errors.

https://github.com/elemental/Elemental/commit/08daf5a157bd3addc8b1a6649f99e2f2e65ec03d

Attaching the elemental build log. This build is with clang:

clang version 3.3 (tags/RELEASE_33/final)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
