I've updated the patch file, could you please have a look if it's ok now ?
About fixing irrtoolset: the software hasn't been improved since mid 2010 and on the development policies page (http://irrtoolset.isc.org/wiki/DevelopmentPolicies) is written IRRToolSet does not compile on GCC4. The code needs to be updated to support GCC4-style C++.. I don't believe the project is actively supported anymore by developers and I don't have the time and the skills to try to make it compile with clang. Therefore I propose to keep the port compiling with gcc until someone volunteers to fix it.

Thanks, committed in r91186. We don't need to bump the revision because the port previously failed to build with clang.
This is not a proper fix. Please read wiki:PortfileRecipes#compiler for possible recipes. But the best would be to fix irrtoolset to work with clang, if that's possible.
