[LLVMdev] Building the CFE I get this error: there are no arguments to `lrand48'

[Jeff Cohen]

This sounds suspiciously like the problem I ran into with VC++, whose 
std implementation also includes _Distance. Could mingw have copied VC++ 
too closely? The fix with VC++ was to add a "using std::_Distance" line 
(or just "using namespace std".
