This test suite proved very very helpful! Clang-3.8 on PPC produced only 13 errors out of 500 tests.
10 of those were on the same issue, 32bit exceptions. The other three included on a weird math error in fast-fourier-transfroms, and two errors in the logic of handling certain va_args (which I thought we had fixed). Gives me encouragement to continue on with clang-3.8 on PPC.
