make_decl_rtl is used to generate the RTL to refer to some static
object. It should not be called for a local variable; a local variable
should be turned into a pseudo-register instead. It's hard to know what
is wrong with your pass; you should look at what is calling
make_decl_rtl with a local variable, any why.
