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.
