Hi!
As the following testcase shows e.g. on ia32, letting IPA opts change
signature of functions which have [[{gnu,clang}::musttail]] calls
can turn programs that would be compiled normally into something
that is rejected because the caller has fewer argument stack slots
than the function being tail called.
The following patch prevents signature changes for such functions.
It is perhaps too big hammer in some cases, but it might be hard
to try to figure out what signature changes are still acceptable and which
are not at IPA time.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk/15.2?
