[PATCH] Fix for LLVM debug build failure on Windows + MSVC2010SP1

[Manish Verma]

Hi Aaron,

I checked that on Linux the size of ASTMatchers/Dynamic/CMakeFiles/clangDynamicASTMatchers.dir/Registry.cpp.o
is 34M and number of sections generated is 36986.

Both, MSVC and mingw-gcc fails to build this file on Windows. I think
we should either fix the source in Registry.cpp or add /bigobj option
to build (the debug variant of) LLVM on Windows.

Regards,
Manish
