This is a very general problem with sparse-llvm, directly caused
by the fact the sparse associates type to instructions and LLVM
to the values.
What's happening is that the first time a pseudo is used
it's a value is created (with the curret type, of course)
*and* is stored in the pseudo::priv.
The next times this pseudo is used the LLVM value is directly
taken from the ::priv without regards for the current type.
In the coming update of the LLVM serie, I added an helper
for this sort of things: adjust_type(). But it need to be
added at the right place(s).
