I mean, this bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642053

This bug was fixed yesterday by upgrade clang in wheezy. Before the 
upgrading, the compilation of simple "Hello, World" program would still 
be successful. However, there are some other problem described in the 
above bug. If clang is downgraded, then the above bug would appear again.
