I get the same result (XML/Object file impersonation) when I invoke
from the command line without libtool:

$ /usr/local/bin/clang --analyze -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./compat
-I./include -I./include -g -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing
-Wno-deprecated-declarations -D_THREAD_SAFE -MT event.lo -MD -MP -MF
.deps/event.Tpo -c event.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/event.o
...
$ file .libs/event.o
.libs/event.o: XML  document text
$ lipo -info .libs/event.o
lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: .libs/event.o

*****
I've been trying to use Clang:

$ export CC=/usr/local/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/bin/clang++
$ ./configure
libtool: compile:  /usr/local/bin/clang --analyze -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I./compat -I./include -I./include -g -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing
-Wno-deprecated-declarations -D_THREAD_SAFE -MT event.lo -MD -MP -MF
.deps/event.Tpo -c event.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/event.o
...

*****
If I pass --analyze through CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, I can't get past ./configure:

$ export CC=/usr/local/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/bin/clang++
$ export CFLAGS="--analyze" CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
...
checking host system type... x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0
checking for gcc... /usr/local/bin/clang
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... conftest.plist

checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

Clang 3.3 is incredibly useful, and its one of the tools I use to
acceptance test external libraries. Its picked up a few issues in
libevent so far: https://sourceforge.net/p/levent/bugs/312/.

I can't wait to see the results of dynamic analysis using the
sanitizers, but I need to get past compile/link ;)
