Bug description:
  On Linux, the distros often use libstdc++ rather than libc++ for
  Clang. Building libcxx is an art that I have never been able to
  untangle, and I think the maintainers have discovered the same.

  Below, I'm catching a UB finding when using Clang and libstdc++. This
  one has been around for some time. I first encountered it on Apple
  platforms. I regularly encounter it on Debian and Ubuntu.

  The fix is fairly easy, and I usually just do it: a couple of casts
  among unsigned and the flags. Also see http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail
  /cfe-dev/2015-January/040753.html.
