IIRC, that's the only time it outputs bitcode, so that's the only
place `-preserve-bc-uselistorder` will have any effect.

(just realizing now that the "setPreserveBitcodeUseListOrder" is just a global function, not LLVMContext, etc) - that seems like the sort of thing I'd be even more inclined to push up into the actual utilities very directly, so there's no libraries quietly tweaking this global state in surprising ways.

Wrong as it may be, this sort of thing is pervasive in LLVM.

But if you have specific ideas, I'm happy to tweak this.

I think Chris B. was working on fixing global state in `cl::opt`,
but I'm not sure where he is with that.
