I think the problem is likely llvm-gcc itself.  After preprocessing
one of the expressions that it is complaining isn't constant is:

      (((MR_Word *)((char *)(((0) << 2)) + ((0)))))

and that most certainly is contant.  (GCC has no problem with the above
which is odd because llvm-gcc uses the GCC frontend.)
