        <pre>As cc1as overwrites the output file without using a temporary file, it breaks
hard-linked cache entries of ccache. Here is the corresponding ccache issue:
<a href="https://github.com/ccache/ccache/issues/331">https://github.com/ccache/ccache/issues/331</a>

That is, `cmp bar.o baz.o` at the last line of below should not hit.

 echo '.octa 0x0' | clang -cc1as -triple x86_64-pc-linux-gnu - -o foo.o
 ln -f foo.o bar.o
 cp foo.o baz.o
 echo '.octa 0x1' | clang -cc1as -triple x86_64-pc-linux-gnu - -o foo.o
 cmp bar.o baz.o


cc1as opens the file directly here[1], while other tools uses the temp file
through CompilerInstance[2].
