Attached is the test-suite.log file from a failed test:

I am not sure about the cause. It's either over-zealous optimisation in clang or a subtle bug in libmill. However, it seems that using optimisation level -O1 instead of -O2 fixes the problem.

As a temporary measure I can add a check for clang into build system and use -O1 if it is found.

What do you think?
