SIGSEGV with -Cremark=all on aarch64-apple-darwin

[rosborn]

When compiling with -Cremark=all, rustc crashes with SIGSEGV in LLVM's optimization remarks infrastructure.

Code

# Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "rustc-crash"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2024"

[dependencies]
serde_derive = "1.0.228"

// src/main.rs
fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

Build command:

RUSTFLAGS="-Cremark=all" cargo build --release

note: we would appreciate a report at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust
help: you can increase rustc's stack size by setting RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216
