Clang and the default compiler in OS X Lion

Viewed 23037

In OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) I used the following lines in ~/.bashrc to force compilation with clang instead of standard gcc:

# Set Clang as the default compiler for the system
export CC=clang
export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments

I also (occasionally) had to use the following lines to use llvm-gcc when clang would fail to compile certain things (PostgreSQL was guilty of this for a long time):

# Set LLVM GCC as the default compiler for the system
export CPP='llvm-gcc-4.2'
export CC='llvm-gcc-4.2'
export CXX='llvm-g++'

On OS X Lion (10.7), are these lines still required? Is llvm-gcc (or clang) the default compiler for the system? Or will these lines still need to live in my ~/.bashrc?
