FYI, there is one other issue here, PR2660. While codegen in
general can handle types like i256, individual targets don't always
have calling convention rules to cover them. For example, returning
an i128 on x86-32 or an i256 on x86-64 doesn't doesn't fit in the
registers designated for returning values on those targets.
