It's a little unclear from your message what you're trying to do, but
using intrinsics with returns types of anyint, anyfloat, ptr, and void
will allow you to create an intrinsic with the same return type as any
instruction.

One possible exception is that if you're working on LLVM trunk, you
may see the new multiple-return-values. These aren't described
in the Manual yet though, and I suspect the intrinsics framework isn't
currently prepared for them either.
