The latest Rawhide llvm build:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=130997

-- which you'd probably have to install manually until it hits the
Rawhide mirrors -- have clang's analyzer packaged. Once it lands
properly you can have llvm, llvm-clang (the compiler) and
llvm-clang-analyzer installed by simply doing

  yum install llvm-clang-analyzer

I might push this into F-11 too, once LLVM 2.6 comes out, if simply to
provide the analyzer to our F-11 users.
