Comment (by bgamari):

 Unfortunately this isn't quite enough,
 {{{
 /home/ben/trees/root-llvm-head/bin/opt: utils/hpc/dist-
 install/build/HpcParser.ll:44714:37: error: Alias must point to function
 or variable
 @c3rB_str$alias = alias private i8* bitcast (%c3rB_str_struct* @c3rB_str
 to i8*)
                                     ^
