branch: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

A 32-bit build of BusyBox using clang segfaulted in the test
"awk assign while assign".  Specifically, on line 7 of the test
input where the adjustment of the L.v pointer when the Fields
array was reallocated

   	L.v += Fields - old_Fields_ptr;

was out by 4 bytes.

Rearrange to code so both gcc and clang generate code that works.
