I do not see this with tip of tree LLVM. It seems this was only recently
supported in the integrated assembler:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/b65e0947cade9bd39036a7700b54c1df4ec00756

If it is not easy to work around, we can probably just leave it broken
and tell anybody who notices to upgrade their compiler.

Cheers,
