OK, thanks. It's good to know that somebody is working on this.

LLVM/clang is making a really good progress with the regards to ARM support
and I'm looking forward to the next release. Other than this minor issue,
clang 2.8 already looks quite good and can be used to successfully compile
some real programs on ARM (and do this correctly enough to pass regression
tests).
