Rustc 1.32 segfaults with llvm 7.0.1 while building fd-find and lto=true enabled

[Mic92]

While binaries by provided by mozilla are compiled against its bundled llvm, distributions such as archlinux, fedora and NixOS link rust against the upstream llvm version.

Also the rust project itself don't has this version yet, it might be still useful to track this issue here as it will eventually also affect the project if they ever upgrade llvm.

Steps to reproduce:

$ cargo --version
cargo 1.32.0
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.32.0
$ cargo install fd-find
....
   Compiling clap v2.32.0
   Compiling parking_lot v0.7.1
   Compiling ctrlc v3.1.1
   Compiling crossbeam-channel v0.3.6
   Compiling fd-find v7.2.0
   Compiling globset v0.4.2
   Compiling ignore v0.4.6
error: failed to compile `fd-find v7.2.0`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installCT8S32`

Caused by:
  Could not compile `fd-find`.

Caused by:

This happens both on archlinux (#61490) and on NixOS (#54323). Both distributions uses llvm 7.0.1 instead of the llvm version that is provided by rust. The problem goes away when using the vendored llvm source.

This is backtrace of the coredump: https://gist.github.com/e337646429c41d93a089aaa45b8d2375
as generated by gdb rustc core -batch -ex bt.
The error suggest that it might be related to generating debugging symbols.

UPDATE: the error also seems to go away, when I disable lto optimization.

fd also seems to use lto: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L60

I was also able to reproduce this bug, when compiling my own project cntr with lto optimization enabled.
