(I don't know the equivalent configure flag off the top of my head, but there is one.) I'm not sure whether the LLVM targets-to-build propagates automatically to remove code from Clang, though.

It does not.  This is intentional: it makes it easier to test frontend behavior, and we've been assuming that the code size performance impact is marginal (because it's all dead code and therefore out of i-cache in practice).  I'm not going to vouch for that decision, though.

John.
