Seriously?  Your show stopper bug is that, very occasionally, clang emits incorrect debug info?  And Steve's is that clang emits code that is fully compliant with the C standard, but gives more floating point precision than he wanted?

If those are the most serious problems we have with clang, then it's time to remove gcc 4.2.1 from the tree right now.  I wish the problems that we had with it were so trivial...
