The problem may very well be new.
Two pertinent reports (#42899 and #42849) are both less than a week old.

> #42943 says the problem was "Clang on 32 bit causes non-debug server to crash”. So we should reproduce that problem, then figure out if newer versions of clang fix it. If so, blacklist older clang. If not, blacklist all clang. And also poke the MySQL developers about what they’re planning on doing about this issue.

I filled a bug report with MySQL (http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=72090).

Of course, you are right.

Would it be best to wait until we have more information to decide which, if any, clang versions to blacklist?
