I would very much support this patch. Whatever is going wrong is a
critical problem -- although his testcase requires g++, I have lots of
code that also crashes when built with clang. The fact that *any* code
built with *any* compiler crashes when used with clang-built libgcc is
an error. This is quite serious and breaks a *lot* of C++ code. If it
can't be fixed now, papering it over is required.
