So, what I had in mind is that we could make a new `clang` option similar to `-mlink-builtin-bitcode`. This would then be used by the HIP toolchain or similar when constructing the list of files to pass via `-mlink-builtin-bitcode`. We would then simply register those with this secondary pass.
This approach seems much simpler, being a boolean option that just relinks everything, but I somewhat like the idea of `-mlink-builtin-bitcode` being a pre-link operation and having another one for post-linking. That being said, it may not be worth the extra work because this is a huge hack around this ecosystem already.
