(Sorry for any duplicate mails, my mailer is having difficulty with certain symbols in the body of the mail).
The fundamental change was a patch I put in to 4.9 in October of 2013 [1]. In this patch, we use a large define_attr to group together all of the Neon types used for (set_attr "type") expressions in the ARM backend in the "is_neon_type" attribute, which we use later to decide if an instruction is predicable. We end up with a define_attr with around 290 elements for the "yes" case. As you can see in the preprocessed source on the LLVM bug [2], each element in the define_attr is expanded as ((cached_type == TYPE_NEON_FOO) || ... ) So after three elements we have 3 levels of nesting. After six, we have 6. After around 290 we have 290 levels of bracket nesting, and Clang errors. If there is a better way for me to write the "is_neon_type" attribute, I'll happily spin a patch for it. Certainly, I don't like the size of that generated "if" statement. Alternatively, perhaps the code which generates the if statement could be rewritten to build a switch rather than the large "||" expression. I don't know anything about the gen* programs and how define_attr can be used in the general case to say how feasible that change would be. None of this solves your problem in the interim, for that I think your best bet is to set -fbracket-depth=1024 in your BUILD_CFLAGS, as suggested by Chris.
