I'm pretty sure you want to add FunctionInlingPass as well otherwise
I think llvm won't be doing much inlining and only very very simple
programs will compile fine. See what we did on bcc side.
Also did you consider skipping elf generation and using in memory
instead ? That will improve compile/run time.
