In such case it would make sense to know when "errno" is read. This way
we could detect whether it's actually used, whether or not the
-fno-math-errno (or some generic -fno-xyz-errno) was specified. Problem
is that errno (referenced explicitly) may be a macro that expands to
some system-specific function call.
On that note, what would be really nice is if a function could have an
"mod/use" sets attached to it, which would specify what external symbols
this function can reference. I'm not sure how that could be expressed
in the current IR though.
