hi Nick,
As we discussed on IRC, I'd really like to see this get sucked into
simplifylibcalls instead of being its own pass. This has two
advantages: 1) it will be a function pass, so it will interoperate
more nicely with the inliner etc, and 2) it eliminates a special
purpose pass with narrow goals. I haven't look at the patch in detail
yet, but one other minor point is that your loop to check to see if
all uses of cxa_* are direct calls is not sufficient: other
translation units could take their addresses etc.
