That's expected for the param-[123].c testcases.

Yes, both modes have severe limitations.

That's what I have been trying to do recently for these testcases: selectively
shut down -fvar-tracking-assignments to track the location instead of the
value, because it's for aggregate parameters and they are rarely modified.

I'll investigate why this isn't sufficient on aarch64.
