Yes. The DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME of the parent is not available at this
point to name the clone, and my guess is that setting it causes an ICE
if it later turns out that the parent is not necessary.
And it is in any case utterly useless to use the mangled name because
after appending the number you cannot demange it anyway. See here the
reason why the ABI extension is needed for versioning ;-)
