But you're changing *opt*, not Clang.

I really think that we shouldn't add passes to -O0...

I am sympathetic to wanting a developer "friendly" mode in the compiler that does some cleanup by not too much so as to confuse things or slow anything down. But:

1. I don't think GlobalDCE is nearly enough.
2. I don't think it should be spelled '-O0'. I actually think this is what -O1 should be.
