Output of --emit-llvm -S won't assemble with llvm-as

[brson]

If I generate the llasm for run-pass/hello.rs and run it through the in-tree version of llvm-as I get the following error:

hello.ll:10:31: error: invalid type for global variable
@rust_start = external global i32 (void (i1*, { i32, %tydesc*, i8*, i8*, i8 }*, { i32, i32, [0 x { i32, i32, [0 x i8] }*] }*)*, i32, i32, { i32, [2 x i32] }*)

The .bc file works fine.

I get the same error if dissembled the .bc file with llvm-dis and assemble back.

Not sure why we're declaring a global pointer to rust_start anyway. Seems like we should be declaring the rust_start function.

declare i32 @rust_start (void (i1*, { i32, %tydesc*, i8*, i8*, i8 }*, { i32, i32, [0 x { i32, i32, [0 x i8] }*] }*)\
*, i32, i32, { i32, [2 x i32] }*)

I realized the global thing is not a pointer, just a function. Look closely, it lacks a trailing star. :)

LLVM LLparser should be correct to reject this.

Fixxed!
