rebuidl_cgraph_edges just looks at the function body and makes edges
accordingly. It is not doing eny redirection.
The way redirection is usually done is that you call cgraph_redirect_edge_callee
and redirect edge to your clone. Updating of statements is done alter, at
the end of IPA stage via cgraph_redirect_edge_call_stmt_to_callee

This will be probably the problem, since then the redirection is not done.
You can try to simply call cgraph_redirect_edge_call_stmt_to_callee after
each redirection. But why you need to do IPA pass so late?
