Thanks for tracking this down. This explains why I've been seeing an
unusually large number of internal compiler errors in this core-updates
cycle. It was a bit surprising since we used the same compiler in the
previous cycle, so I was wondering what might be causing it.
At the moment, the most pressing failure caused by this bug is 'doxygen'
on armhf, which causes GCC to crash deterministically in the same place
every time, with many important dependency failures.

However, it's not obvious to me how best to work around the issue in
this case. Here's the error message:

Here's the declaration of QChar::byteOrderMark from qtools/qstring.h,
included in the doxygen tarball:

class Q_EXPORT Q_PACKED QChar {

QT_STATIC_CONST QChar null; // 0000
QT_STATIC_CONST QChar replacement; // FFFD
QT_STATIC_CONST QChar byteOrderMark; // FEFF
QT_STATIC_CONST QChar byteOrderSwapped; // FFFE
QT_STATIC_CONST QChar nbsp; // 00A0
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and here's its definition, from qtools/qstring.cpp line 12179:
QT_STATIC_CONST_IMPL QChar QChar::byteOrderMark((ushort)0xfeff);
Any suggestions? I've managed to avoid working with C++ so far in this
millenium, so I'm a bit rusty.
