While I understand that this may be necessary for now, are there any
plans to fix this in the compiler in the future? There was a thread
about this issue at
<http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-April/thread.html#98047>,
and possible solutions were discussed there, but it looks like that
fizzled out...
