--- Comment #5 from dodji at redhat dot com ---
Okay, it turned out this wasn't that difficult to handle after all :-)

This should be fixed by patch
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=libabigail.git;a=commit;h=2417efb2b7619ed2a2bd089d267833ee9d171eea,
applied to the master branch.

Note that just doing abidw --noout on the libclang-cpp.so binary takes 19
minutes and 11GB of RAM to complete.  The full abidw --abidiff takes 5 hours to
complete on a power7 box here.  As I said in my comment earlier, it would take
a separate "project" to bring those numbers down for binaries with such a
*huge* ABI surface as clang and the likes.

Thanks for reporting this issue!
