Well, actually we probably need to decide on one thing - ie if we want
to allow such a moves later at gimple form.  I would say that we want to
as we want to make gimple language indepdendent in longer form and thus
classes are just aggregates as of any kind and assigning them is safe.
If we don't want to, we need to come with check prohibiting builtins.c
to construct the assignment.
If we want to, we need to find way to either relax or elliminate the
check or move it to better place.  I still wonder why do we need
expr_size hook that late in compilation?
(ie using TYPE_UNIT_SIZE instead would solve the problem too)
