The Clang driver is only one client of the functionality. Using `llvm-nm` to address the export-list creation process in other contexts was the intent. A common implementation within `llvm-nm` reduces "wheel-reinvention". It is also the case that the original utility used by the IBM compilers for AIX export list creation ignored import files.
