loop endless when handling recursive types

[minux]

package f
type T *T
func f() T { return new(T) }

PS: gotypes at tip can handle this case just fine.

llvm doesn't allow non-struct types to be recursive, i wonder if we should always
wrap go types in llvm struct types.

%T = type { %T* }

ps: if you prefer, i can post these kind of issue discussions to llgo-dev.

Discussing bugs here is fine. What is the point of that type?
I don't like the thought of wrapping everything in a struct, so I'd like to investigate a bit further.

for a concrete example of that type, see http://tip.golang.org/doc/play/peano.go

Thanks. I should've remembered Peano, I just read GEB recently.
On second thought, let's take it to llgo-dev. This one will need a bit of
discussion. I've not come up with any good workarounds so far.
