Thanks!  So, according to
, this is an LLVM bug.

Peter: would you like to report it over at LLVM?

Anyway, closing this bug now.  Thanks!

Hi guys:
Thanks for closing off those bugs.
I have read all the emails you linked in your close emails and 
completely understand the conversation. 

Specially the comment by Michael Matz.
That clearly confirms that it is an LLVM compiler bug.

Good job both of you for digging down deeper and making things so clear.
At least now we know.

Would you please report this over at LLVM since you did the work to discover it.

Thanks again for your great patience and kindness in helping my fumbling 
efforts.

respect…..

Peter

Thanks for the report!
