Comment (by altaic):

 Yikes, I'm definitely not suggesting mangling the object file! I'd like to
 be rid of manglers entirely.

 Any particular reason? In my experience (which is probably much more
 limited than yours), getting upstream patches accepted is much more
 difficult, especially if there is a workaround. In addition, one of the
 main downsides of the LLVM backend is that compile time is much slower.
 Linking against LLVM would improve compilation time, make mangling
 unnecessary, and there may be other advantages as well.
