[PATCH] D16124: Add to the split module utility an SCC based method which allows not to globalize any local variables.

[Sergei Larin via llvm-commits]

 In the end it depends on what your linker does. If your linker tracks global symbols, turning locals into globals will not play well even with hidden attribute.

Besides, I want to "add" new functionality, not to change existing one (patch reflects that). It seems like a generic enough feature that people can find useful outside my use case...
