The bug hasn't changed, but MAME itself has been largely cleared of GCC 4.6 problems in that timeframe. Similarly, Clang 2.9 3.0 should work for MAME when it's released as we've also been testing there (and they've kindly fixed a bug specifically exposed by MAME).

Now I'm confused, because that's not what the current build system does at all. It distills the .os into a few dozen .a static libraries (libemu.a for src/emu, namco.a for Namco games, and so on) and then links all the libraries together.
Also, there have been significant changes to how drivlist.c is handled since 0.139.
