Hi, the Chromium miscompilation is caused by introducing extra copy when returning non-POD object (as tested in the testcase). This is bug in cgraph_node::expand_thunk not setting gimple_call_set_return_slot_opt (I copied same code from ipa-split).
This bug should reproduce on all release branches for target not defining assembler thunks. Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, comitted, earlier version was tested by Martin to fix chromium.
