The following snippet doesn't build when using gcc and libc++:

```
#include <string>
void f(const std::string& s) { s.begin(); }
#include <vector>
void AppendTo(const std::vector<char>& v) { v.begin(); }
```

Depending on how you reduce, this turns up different issues. My best reduction so far shows a bug in gcc: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64816 (but note point (1.) at the bottom, this kind of suggests that I over-reduced – might still be the same bug though, so best to see if a fix for that bug helps here too). But since vector is a friend of __wrap_iter, this is clearly some gcc bug.

I found a clang bug while reducing this too (issue 22350), but on second look it appears unrelated.


I have a libc++-side workaround for this that makes everything work with current gccs. With that workaround, I'm able to build chromium/android with libc++ and gcc. WIthout the workaround, 2 (out of 20000) translation units fail to build, on innocuous code.

I'll send out the workaround to the list.
