[PATCH] D39079: New clang option -fno-plt to avoid PLT for external calls

Let me phrase it differently. What is this patch (and the matching backend PR) supposed to achieve? There are effectively two ways to get rid of PLT entries:
(1) Bind references locally. This is effectively what -Bsymbolic does and what is breaking the ELF interposition rules.
(2) Do an indirect call via the GOT. Requires knowing what  an external symbol is, making it non-attractive for anything but LTO, since it will create performance issues for all non-local accesses (i.e. anything private).
