Since this is actually tripping over code in an opensource code-base that I'd rather not change, I'd prefer to switch back to GCC (if that fixes the problem) for this project.  However, when I've done that in all the controls I can find, I get an error at 'precompile headers' time telling me that "-fobjc-arc" is not valid.

I assume that this is an LLVM option being passed to GCC but I can't for the life of me see where I turn it off.  The "Automatic Reference Counting" popup is definitely off - what other knobs do I need to push?

This may be complicated up by the fact that I have sub-projects, but I believe I have hit every copy of the appropriate option selectors.  Is it possible this is caused because I have the C dialect specified as "compiler default" and my *system* default compiler is LLVM while my *project* compiler is GCC ?

GCC isn't supported by Xcode anymore.  We do have llvm-gcc still, but it is quite old, not getting updates, and I would *not* recommend switching to it.

If you'd like a workaround that doesn't require a source change, just switch these files to build at -O1 in the debug configuration.  The bug *only* impacts -O0.

-Chris
