Would be nice if compiler gave more information!

That code works great when I define foo, and doesn't crash when I 
don't. Please provide a full example that causes the crash so 
that we can figure out the cause.

Now, since this is a compiler crash, getting symbols in the stack 
trace isn't going to help you unless you're planning to fix the 
compiler itself. If you are, just follow Vlad's advice and build 
the compiler with -g.

This is from the compiler crashing. I doubt he's built that.
