If you want the feature, either switch compilers or fix the bug in this 
compiler. The only other option is to stop using the feature.

You'll need to test with upstream Clang 3.7 and 3.8 to verify whether the 
issue is fixed. Apple's "random point in the release cycle plus random set of 
patches" Clang is not a good testbed for reporting compiler failures.

I will not take a patch that disables CRC32 due to a compiler bug in an 
unsupported configuration (LTO), especially if it's already fixed in the latest 
version. 

And I will be adding more of those.
