Any thoughts on how difficult it would be to, when a PCH can not be
loaded at the correct address, skip the PCH and try for the original
header files?  We'd want to issue a warning, but the result will still
be better then a compiler crash, particularly since the crash will be
awkward to work around without manually removing the PCH.  Of course,
the result will not necessarily be equivalent--the original headers
might not be present, or might have been modified since the PCH was
created.
