; ModuleID = 'foo.c'
target datalayout =
"e-p:32:32:32-i1:8:8-i8:8:8-i16:16:16-i32:32:32-i64:32:64-f32:32:32-f64:32:64-v64:64:64-v128:128:128-a0:0:64-f80:32:32"
target triple = "i686-pc-linux-gnu"

define hidden void @foo() {
entry:
        br label %return

return:         ; preds = %entry
        ret void
}

also works when going to native .o or bytecode.
