LLVM IR of miscompiled function from Wine

Now that PR8418 is fixed (thanks, Chris!), I took a stab at building Wine with
Clang at -O2. It builds successfully, but unfortunately, the resulting Wine
segfaults on start-up. This happens before Wine installs its own signal
handlers, so the OS picks it up and produces a backtrace. The backtrace pointed
to the "reserve_area" function.

I've isolated this function and compiled it to LLVM IR. I don't know where or
why this is happening, but this is preventing Wine from being usable when
compiled at -O2.

>From looking at the source, this function is a recursive function, so that
could have something to do with it.
