        <pre>DAE does this innocuous thing:
  // Create the new function body and insert it into the module...
  Function *NF = Function::Create(NFTy, Fn.getLinkage());
  NF->copyAttributesFrom(&Fn);
  Fn.getParent()->getFunctionList().insert(Fn.getIterator(), NF);
  NF->takeName(&Fn);


But copyAttributesFrom doesn't copy comdats. I'm not sure why. Doing the
obvious thing results in these test failures:
