There are a few that I have in mind.

1. -emit-ifso could be added to a build to produce .so files as part of a device SDK (where we don't want to ship the runnable bits in the SDK, we ship those on the device updates).
2. -emit-ifso could be added to whatever the existing set of build flags are to be run as a pre-build step to produce tapi-like .so files that break up build dependencies.
3. -emit-ifso -fvisibility=hidden could added to the invocation to disallow usage of non-public apis.

The way we are thinking it would work is similar to the dwos and .o files where you get one .ifso for each TU, then have a link-action that merges the mangled names and produces the .so file.
