So the built-ins would take address of this decl, something else?
Then there is the _simduid_ clause (also can hold address of the decl), and
after lowering it lives only in loop structure (so perhaps
remove_unused_locals would need to mark the decls referenced from loop
structure as used?).

I can certainly try to use internal function instead of builtin with dot in
name, will report later if it is possible and how much changes would it
need.
