I'm trying to build one program that works fine on PPC Linux, but
segfaults on PPC Mac (and works on any other Mac). I would like to
exclude a compiler bug (I'm not sure if there's a bug in compiler or a
bug in the code that I'm compiling). I successfully built clang-3.4 a
few days ago, but it refuses to compile the code.
