AFAIK, GCC also doesn't support targeting the Visual Studio C++ ABI.  And
there's one thing you're doing — passing a non-POD class by value — that
requires LLVM support that doesn't yet exist.

You might have *slightly* better luck if you instead take that by reference,
but probably you'd be better off either (1) changing to a more C-like
interface or (2) figuring out a way to compile part of your host environment
using the Itanium ABI.
