Bug#705958: clang: Fails to link c++ programs on armhf, size_t is defined incorrectly

[Florian Fischer]

Package: clang
Version: 1:3.0-6.1+rpi1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Currently, I cannot use clang++ on armhf (raspbian) due to an incorrect definition 
of size_t.
clang++'s builtins define size_t as unsigned long, however the architecture and libstdc++
define it as unsigned int. 
This leads to failures when linking a clang++-compiled program such as the following: 

ha.cpp:(.text+0x738): undefined reference to `operator new(unsigned long)'
ha.cpp:(.text+0x748): undefined reference to `operator new[](unsigned long)'
ha.cpp:(.text+0x8f4): undefined reference to `std::string::append(char const*, unsigned long)'

Please note that operator new is also affected, so virtually no C++ program will work.
 
I'm sure this bug would be easy to fix, if I had any idea  
about the organization of the clang source code... 

Best regards,
  Florian
