Bitcast only works between types of the same size. You shouldn't even
have been able to create that expression. It's strongly recommended
that you use a build of LLVM with assertions enabled for development,
are you doing that?

Either way, for i16 -> i32, your options are "zext" or "sext".

Cheers.
