So I built LLVM sources to get asserts like pogona:

$ llvm-config --version
15.0.7
$ llvm-config --assertion-mode
ON

and I do now get a crash with bt that looks like this (not same as pogona):

The LLVMBuildCall() in frame #6 is added by the patch that I also
mentioned in the previous replies.  I haven't yet pinpointed down
which of the LLVM's asserts it is, nor have I been able to walk
through LLVM source code using gdb to figure what the new code is
doing wrong.  Maybe I'm still missing a trick or two...
