TinyGo Panics on Generic Type Aliases

[Yeaseen]

TinyGo crashes when compiling a generic type alias, even when using GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1. Though I am not sure whether TinyGo supports generic type aliases correctly.

$ cat test.go
package main
import "fmt"
// Define a generic type
type Wrapper[T any] struct {
	Value T
}
// Alias declaration with type parameter
type Alias[T any] = Wrapper[T]

func main() {
	// Using the alias
	var a Alias[int] = Alias[int]{Value: 42}
	fmt.Println("a:", a.Value)
}

GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1 tinygo run test.go
panic: unknown type: main.Alias[int]

goroutine 200 [running]:
github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/compiler.(*compilerContext).makeLLVMType(0xc003bb2000?, {0x7020428?, 0xc00287d340?})
        /__w/tinygo/tinygo/compiler/compiler.go:468 +0x539

It produces different errors when setting target.

Without target set

GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1 tinygo run main.go

panic: unknown type: sync.Mutex

goroutine 54 [running]:
github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/compiler.(*compilerContext).makeLLVMType(0x14001ca8000?, {0x10aa97468?, 0x1400587a800?})
        /Users/runner/work/tinygo/tinygo/compiler/compiler.go:468 +0x578

With pico2-w target set

GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1 tinygo run -target=pico2-w main.go

panic: unknown type: any

goroutine 116 [running]:
github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/compiler.(*compilerContext).makeLLVMType(0x1400af8a280?, {0x10b4ab468?, 0x140000221c0?})
        /Users/runner/work/tinygo/tinygo/compiler/compiler.go:468 +0x578

Even though changing it from any to int return the same result panic: unknown type: any.
