llvm-gcc is not going to be globally broken or not broken. Like all software, it has bugs, and the bugs may or may not affect you. An 'example' that is actually a bug in the program is not very convincing of generic broken-ness. Try again if you want to make that case.

Do you want __builtin_frame_address, by the way? Still target specific, but explicit.

It is not just one example. Take a look at http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9891 which is marked as WONTFIX. Shipping an unmaintained compiler certainly screams broken to me.

__builtin_frame_address looks interesting, I'll take a look.
