Short of very rare cases the code path is the same. Why is there
different code paths in here? It is not obvious on the patch that
there are and even less obvious that there should be.

We should only have llc producing objects directly when we cannot test
a particular path with two independent tests (.ll to .s and .s to .o).
Those cases should be very clearly documented as to why they cannot be
split.
