but nm -m shows that only symbols from libLLVM, libSystem, and libc++ are used.
 The other links are unnecessary.

Looking back at what I have on this system, this has been the case for quite
some time.  The oldest libLTO that I have is from 3.3, and it pulls in zlib and
libffi (but libedit and ncurses cam in some time more recently).
