Ah, of course! I'd forgotten about the extra allocas produced by clang.

To expand a little, the spills you're seeing are (probably)
specifically created by clang (it creates a shadow variable for each
local with alloca). "llc" on its own can't get rid of these, so you'll
either want to give clang "-O3" or run the LLVM bitcode through "opt"
before "llc".
