dev-util/ninja is hosed at the moment on a hardened/amd64 system built using
gcc-6.x.  See Bug #604198.  This one package is holding up my dev box from
updating clang/llvm and several other dependent packages.  I've given up trying
to debug it, too.  It's something gcc-6.x is doing, code-generation-wise, that
is beyond my ability to troubleshoot.
