All below is AFAICT:

This compiler you're using is not some official release but some random
commit before the v10 release:

$ git show c2443155a0fb245c8f17f2c1c72b6ea391e86e81
Author: Hans Wennborg <hans@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Sat Nov 30 14:20:11 2019 +0100

    Revert 651f07908a1 "[AArch64] Don't combine callee-save and local stack adjustment when optimizing for size"
...

$ git describe c2443155a0fb245c8f17f2c1c72b6ea391e86e81
llvmorg-10-init-10900-gc2443155a0fb

The v10 release is:

$ git show llvmorg-10.0.0
tag llvmorg-10.0.0
Tagger: Hans Wennborg <hans@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Mar 24 12:58:58 2020 +0100

Tag 10.0.0

and v10 has reached v10.0.1 in the meantime:

$ git log --oneline c2443155a0fb245c8f17f2c1c72b6ea391e86e81~1..llvmorg-10.0.1 | wc -l
7051

so can you please update your compiler and see if you can still
reproduce with 10.0.1 so that we don't waste time chasing a bug which
has been likely already fixed in one of those >7K commits.

Thx.
