I think this is probably an LLVM bug. I am using the new stuff for passing structures as arguments (and getting structures as return values), which is not yet well tested. Are you running this on Linux/ PowerPC? It works on FreeBSD/x86, which I think has the same calling convention as Linux/x86 (i.e. pretty much everything passed on the stack). If so, you could file a bug against LLVM for not conforming to the platform ABI calls. If you're on x86, then it might be my bug and I'll take a closer look.
