Just in case if we will return to idea of supporting compressed outputs one day:
as far I was able to find, the only place about compression in llvm now is 
ELFObjectWriter::writeSectionData() method.

And it only supports gnu style now (sections are renamed to ".z*", 'zlib' magic header is used, no
SHF_COMPRESSED flag is set).
