I don't think that patch would be required in principle if the function
inlining is taken care of by the LLVM back-end instead as we discussed
earlier.

I guess another possibility would be to have clang run the necessary
checks somehow so we can be sure that a successful compilation implies
that the generated code is well-formed and the second compilation is
going to complete successfully too.
