LLVM doesn't really support reusing the same module to emit more than
one file. One bug this causes is that the IR is invalidated by the stack
coloring pass when emitting the first file, and then the IR verifier
complains by the time we try to emit the second file. Also, we get
different binaries with --emit=asm,link than with just --emit=link. In
some cases leading to segfaults.
Unfortunately, it seems that at this point in time, the most sensible
option to circumvent this problem is to just clone the whole llvm module
for the asm output if we need both, asm and obj file output.

previously the error was erased and a `non-const path` error was emitted at the location of the field access instead of at the overflow location (as can be seen in the playground: http://is.gd/EuAF5F )
The previous example had no chance of compiling in either form, due to the restrictive follow set for `ty`. This one has the desired behavior: http://is.gd/kYdw4g (well, I don't exactly desire this behavior at all, but it's true at least :p )

It looks like #27937 accidentally switched the llvmdeps file from the target to
the host by accident, so be sure to use the right llvmdeps file which is built
for the target when building rustc_llvm
Still will not translate references to items like `X` or `Y::V` where
```
struct X;
enum Y { V }
```
but I must go work on university things so I’m PRing what I have.

The Rustonomicon's Lifetimes chapter uses the idiom "big ask", which is obscure compared to "tall order" (check [Google ngrams](https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=big+ask%2C+tall+order&year_start=1800)). Also, it's easily mistaken for a typo; either "a big task" or "a big thing to ask" could plausibly work there.

…entation clearer
I could not use colors as suggested for #29854 because Github doesn't support these in markdown, however this solution may be better for color-blind readers.
