        <pre>It seems, the following code cannot be compiled:

void main() {
  int N = 100;
  double f[N];
}

<span class="quote">> clang -std=c99 -c test.c -o test.a</span >
fatal error: error in backend: Cannot select: intrinsic %llvm.spu.si.sf


changing N to `const int` will make the program work. This makes sense.
I don't know what the C99 Standard says on this, but if using a non-const is
not valid, at least the error message should be more "legible". 

For comparison: `gcc -std=c99 -Wall test.c` does not complain at all if N is
non-const and produces a working binary.
