Linking is done using LTO now, I don't know exactly how they merge bitcode compared to llvm-link but I'm assuming it's similar.

Yes, would save some time assuming most codes are C++

So I figured I'd copy the same semantics of how `-lm` works where you need to specify it for C but not C++. We could just pass this in all the time, but since linking it in currently required `-lm` I copied that.
