As Andy said, I think compiler-clang.h needs an unreachable()
definition.  Without that, I'm guessing you're getting this:

  #ifndef unreachable
  # define unreachable() do { annotate_reachable(); do { } while (1); } while (0)
  #endif

which converts "unreachable" to "reachable".  That used to be needed for
pre-4.5 versions of GCC when we supported them, but it's the wrong
behavior for this piece of code (and I should remove all those old GCC
hacks soon...)
