That seems like a nice win and I like the convenience of this approach. That said I've just remembered that there's a thread on cfe-dev about this:
[RFC] Suppress C++ static destructor registration

I don't think a consensus was reached. From what I gather, some people think that the convenience of this flag makes it worth adding to clang, while others think that adding a non-standard compiler-specific flag is asking for trouble.

I suspect that we'll need more consensus to get this in tree. See Richard's comment:
"If someone's prepared to write up a paper for the C++ committee exploring what it would mean to standardize this behaviour and actually fix the problem for everyone, it would seem extremely reasonable for clang trunk to carry a flag to enable that behaviour (and it certainly doesn't have to wait for the committee to respond)."
