I've now reproduced this. It actually only fails for *some*
queries, a good number works. Investigating.


As a random aside, our costing is fairly ridiculous here:

I think it's I that did something wrong not you. And the architecture
thing is a non-issue, because we're taking the target triple from the
right place.  I think it's a separate issue. Notably the generated code
is apparently corrupt, when reading in the generated bitcode:

$ opt-6.0 -O3 -S < /tmp/data/6814.1.bc|less
opt-6.0: <stdin>: error: Invalid record (Producer: 'LLVM6.0.0' Reader: 'LLVM 6.0.0')

I suspect there's a 32bit vs 64bit confusion in the expression code
somewhere, might've accidentally used a 64bit type for Datum somewhere
or such. Will compile an LLVM with assertions enabled, to figure this
out (which verifies this kinda thing).

Greetings,
