Your description of the option made me say "what?" several times. Please 
try to clarify it.

This patch doesn't change the behaviour when llvm-ld emits a shell 
script. I would've expected it (based on the name and description) to 
change the name of the .bc file that the shell script runs.

It's still not clear to me what problem this is solving for you. Why not 
just use "-link-as-library -o"?
