a pointer to make it explicit. The Module owns the datalayout and it has to
match the one attached to the TargetMachine for generating code.
* Comdats are now ortogonal to the linkage. LLVM will not create
comdats for weak linkage globals and the frontends are responsible
for explicitly adding them.
* On ELF we now support multiple sections with the same name and
comdat. This allows for smaller object files since multiple
sections can have a simple name (`.text`, `.rodata`, etc).
* LLVM now lazily loads metadata in some cases. Creating archives
with IR files with debug info is now 25X faster.
* llvm-ar can create archives in the BSD format used by OS X.
* ... next change ...
