Translate-c didn't properly account for C macro functions having parameter names that are C keywords. So something like `#define FOO(float) ((float) + 10)` would've been interpreted as casting `+10` to a `float` type, instead of adding `10` to the parameter `float`.
An example of a real-world macro function like this is SDL3's `SDL_DEFINE_AUDIO_FORMAT` from `SDL_audio.h`, which uses `signed` as a parameter.
This started failing in LLVM 20:

We build zig2.c and compiler_rt.c with -O0 but then proceed to link with -O3.
So zig2.o and compiler_rt.o will have references to ubsan-rt symbols, but the
-O3 causes the compiler to not link ubsan-rt. We don't actually need the safety
here, so just explicitly disable ubsan.
These started failing with LLVM 20 for unclear reasons:

Unfortunately, neither GDB nor LLDB want to play nice with qemu-mips64(el) at
the moment, so I can't easily debug these failures.
LLVM 20 started tail-calling it in some of our test cases, resulting in:
