Not sure WHAT to make of this...<br>

I don't think it's a bug in the linker, really… it's required to treat (stripped) opaque types as different, since it really has no way to know if the caller and the callee really are referring to the same thing… though it then seems to turn right around and do exactly that by inserting the bitcast. ;-) (That does come from the linker.)<br>

In this particular case, the names aren't useless… Or perhaps ALL (stripped) opaque types should merely be smashed together to avoid the troublesome bitcast.<br>

The name isn't a fundamental property of an LLVM struct type; we<br>
preserve it for readability, but not at the expense of correctness.<br>
<br>
I think the linker uses the names as a hint to merge struct types, but<br>
it also should be taking the structure of globals and instructions<br>
which use the struct type into account.<br>

It's a pass; you run it.<br>
