Details:

I was compiling the latest version of gnustep-base from SVN (revision 32500),
and I was running into trouble with NSDateFormatter and NSNumberFormatter,
which both use internal classes. Their -copyWithZone: implementations had code
like the following:

memcpy(o->_internal, internal, sizeof(NSDateFormatterInternal));

This code doesn't compile with clang and the -fnon-fragile-abi option because
(I presume) the class size is determined at runtime. I've provided a patch
below which fixes this problem by using the new class_getInstanceSize().
