It looks to me like the LTO compile step with -O2 -flto -c uses this same -O2 optimization pipeline as without LTO. Clang communicates the fact that we are doing an LTO compile to llvm via the -emit-llvm-bc flag, which just tells it to emit bitcode and exit before codegen. So I would either need to key off of that or setup a new flag to indicate to llvm that we are doing an LTO -c compile. Or is there some other way that I am missing? Incidentally, we'll also want to skip this new pass and keep any referenced avail extern functions in the ThinLTO -c compile step for the same reasons (and there are no imported functions yet at that point).

[LLVMdev] Removing AvailableExternal values in GlobalDCE (was Re: RFC: ThinLTO Impementation Plan)
Talked to Eric Fri and he suggested that this might be the first of several places where we want behavior of LTO compiles to diverge from normal -O2 compiles. So for now I have implemented this such that we pass down -flto to the -cc1 job, and that gets propagated as a code gen option and into the PassManagerBuilder. I have left the current logic translating -flto to the -emit-llvm-bc option, since IMO that is cleaner for controlling the output type. Let me know what you think of saving the overall LTO setting in CodeGenOpts/PassManagerBuilder, or if is it better to record just the individual behaviors we want (i.e. change the new field in CodeGenOpts/PassManagerBuilder from "LTO" to "ElimAvailExtern" or something like that). Patches attached. I modified an existing available external clang test to check for the new O2 (LTO vs not) behaviors.
