Aaah, thank you for tracking this one down! So. I assume that with GCC
(any version) everything is fine. This is apparently an optimization in
LLVM. But... is LLVM wrong, or are we wrong? I guess LLVM is wrong,
right, since the result depends on the optimization level? Surely we
should be able to produce a nice compiler bug report out of this :)
