If adding retry support, please do something else useful: if the ICE is in
the compiler (I guess ones in the preprocessor can't so readily be
distinguished), try to generate a .i (or .ii or .mi) file and see if that
reproduces the problem. If it does, tell the user the name of the .i file
they should send in their bug report. Also output a nicely formatted
statement of compiler version, host/target, and options used, to be
included in the bug report.
