As is probably obvious, I think this is a good idea. llc should be
able to test the full range of backend behaviour seen by other
front-ends, and part of that is the decision to not exit immediately
on an error.

As to how to do it, I'd be OK with a temporary option personally. I'll
see if I can do anything about some of the other problems once it's
in.

Cheers.
