This part looks broken.  Setting VALUE_LVAL to lval_memory implies the
value actually *has* location information pointing to memory, that is
in particular, a memory address.

Since this value doesn't have that information, and in general it may
not even exist (function return values may be passed in registers), I
don't see how this can be valid here.

Bye,
Ulrich
