Yep, you cannot add the /usr/include/linux include path to clang or it won't 
work. I did exactly the same error when I started using clang (because I 
didn't read the install instructions) :P

clang automatically prints a stack trace, which should be enough to debug 
the problem in most cases. If you don't find the bug (it's normal as you 
don't know the code yet), send here the code you are parsing that is 
triggering the segfault.
