Run asy with the -k command line option! This will make it *keep* all  
intermediate files. And some of them *are* TEX files...

The LLVM-GCC 4.2 gives a lot of errors. A little bit of optimisation (- 
O1) and two C++ source files do not compile (util.cc, settings.cc).  
And a fault with the Boehm Garbage Collector library exists, which  
also be caused by my LDFLAGS settings.

At least I could produce some MB of output running asy under dtruss  
"guidance..."

The files which yesterday a 'sudo make install' installed inside TeX  
Live were installed outside, were installed inside the local tree in:

/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/asymptote           
({asymptote|ocg|asycolors}.sty)
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/third/asymptote  (colo- 
asy.tex)

And the ls-R files were updated. Not that bad!
