[llvm-dev] ThinLTO Bug ?

I took a quick look and it looks like the declare of @b is fine, but the
call in @a is using a different type (the "type opaque"). I dumped the
module at the point of the failure, shown below. This was with the change
of !9 in a.ll to be a class type.

Xin - can you file a bug and cc me on it and also reply here with the bug
number? I am traveling all this week and next and likely won't have a
chance to look more until afterwards. Hopefully someone else can take a
look in the meantime.
