         // Do a precise compatibility check.
         if (!areTypesABICompatible(Caller, NestedCallee, Types))
           return false;

I am not sure. That function is checking that the used types are ABI compatible, but what about available target instructions? Is the idea to first only check the types, then later during CodeGen the target does a more exhaustive check?

Fixing areTypesABICompatible() would be more general I guess. Do you have an idea how much work is involved properly fixing that function? I am not familiar with this code base at all. Do you have anything against applying this patch as an incremental improvement?
