I appreciate you doing these.  They may actually save me some work of
marking things BROKEN :-)

If you (or anyone else) are interested in doing more of them, I can
point you to the list that I update now and them.  It is the output of
the official poudriere amd64-CURRENT build except with different markup
for the errror analyses:

In particular, all the ones that are marked "duplicate_symbol" suffer
from this same problem.

For anyone interested:

 - it was introduced with the last upgrade to llvm/clang in base;

 - the "perfect" fix is to have the upstream authors (if they are
   even still active) to update their codebases to the more strict
   requirement that modern compilers impose.

Thanks.

(hmm.  The output is two weeks old now.  Let me take care of that as
soon as I finish today's emails.)
