Function level linking is a compiler feature, not a linker feature.  It's
enabled via the /Gy option in the compiler and causes the compiler to put
each function into its own COMDAT.  The linker can then use this to discard
more functions (e.g. during /OPT:REF).

clang-cl also supports the /Gy option, right?
