their way of dealing with command line tools is rather annoying in this release

Yep, I wasn't able to install the Command Line Tools from the Xcode Preferences. It works if you do it manually ... by downloading the Command Line Tools from: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action and now I have in my path clang 4.0!

  For whatever it may be worth, installing from the preferences worked fine for me. I heard other reports of failures, though, and assume it's related to the massive number of people all trying to download Mountain Lion at once.

    It worked fine for me as well, installing it around 30 minutes ago.

  That page only shows me the downloads for Xcode 4.3 and 4.5 Developer Preview, but it looks like I can use the 4.4 versions just fine by adding "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin" to my $PATH

    I couldn't get /Applications/Xcode.app/.../usr/bin/gcc to work for me today. It could not access stdlib includes and such. I got the Xcode preferences installer of the command-line tools to work, and that put a gcc in /usr/bin/ that worked completely. I don't know what's different between the two, but that seems to be the official way to do it. Kudos to Apple for the self-contained command-line tools package download. Hopefully that'll continue with another update for 10.8.

  Both the June and July command line tools give me an error saying they don't support 10.8.

    Same here; the late July update is only installable on 10.7. Looks like we're still stuck waiting for Apple to sort out the 403 error for XCode 4.4 on Mountain Lion.

      I found a link to the 10.8 tools somewhere on SO. It was that or build everything from source...

  when I tried earlier, it errored out. I just tried again and it is now downloading.

Instead of installing the command line tools package you can access any of the command line tools that's in Xcode.app by prefixing the command with xcrun. May be easier then installing/managing a whole separate installation of command line tools depending on your needs.
