[LLVMdev] Use still stuck around after Def is destroyed:

[ret val]

No, I am not trying to delete anything.

I wanted to created a GlobalVariable that is of Type ConstantArray,
where one of the elements its a BitCast of a GlobalVariable. I have
that, but I get those errors after my pass is done. I dont know why,
my code seems sane enough, and I dont know another way I can go about
this.
