target triple = "i386-unknown-linux-gnu"

define void @test(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind {
  tail call void @callee(i32 inreg 0, i32 inreg 0, i32 inreg 0) nounwind
  ret void
}

declare void @callee(i32 inreg, i32 inreg, i32 inreg)

fails to build:

nlewycky@ducttape:~$ llvm/Debug+Asserts/bin/llc -relocation-model=pic b.ll
LLVM ERROR: ran out of registers during register allocation

but it works without PIC. The input source to cause this from clang is:

  void __attribute((regparm(3))) callee(int, int, int);
  void test(int a, int b) {
    callee(0, 0, 0);
  }

which gcc handles like so:
