No, this is a clang bug. With your .c file I can reproduce the problem:
it looks like clang's optimizer gets into an endless loop, or something
similar, and it eats up memory until it dies.
Since it turns out recent trunk versions do not exhibit this behavior, I
will attempt to figure out exactly where it was fixed. :-)
Meanwhile, as a workaround, you can lower the optimization level from
-O3 to -O2, that should allow the build to continue.
